Enkhbayar said Mongolia was firmly committed to developing stable good-neighborly, equal footing and mutually beneficial ties with China, calling on both sides to take the opportunity of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties, as well as the 15th anniversary of China-Mongolia Treaty on Friendly Cooperative Relations next year to further expand cooperation.

He said Mongolia hopes to work closely with China to fulfill large-scale cooperative programs of infrastructure construction, transport, energy and resources, and expand cultural, tourism, youth and local-government exchanges.

Enkhbayar reiterated Mongolia's adherence to the one-China policy. He extended congratulations to the country's great achievements in national construction since its reform and opening-up.

With regard to the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games, Enkhbayar said he was glad to attend its opening ceremony, expecting its full success. Hu expressed welcome and gratitude for that.
