Sudanese President Omer Hassan Ahmed El-Bashir arrived Monday at Sanya, a
scenic city in southern China's Hainan Province, continuing his visit in the
country.
El-Bashir arrived in China last Wednesday for the Beijing Summit of
the Forum on the China-Africa Cooperation held on Nov. 4- 5. A total of 48
African countries that have diplomatic relations with China attended the summit,
a landmark event in China-Africa relations.
China hopes the Sudanese
government can strengthen dialogue with each concerned party in the Darfur
conflict and try to maintain stability in the region, Chinese President Hu
Jintao made the remark when meeting Sudanese President last Thursday.
Chinese
Premier Wen Jiabao met with El-Bashir last Friday, saying the two countries are
enjoying a stable relationship.
China and Sudan forged diplomatic relations
on Feb. 4, 1959. Bilateral trade topped US$3.9 billion in
2005.
