China hopes to further strengthen legal and judicial cooperation and exchanges with Ukraine, a senior Chinese official said Monday.
Guo Shengkun, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a meeting with visiting Ukrainian Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko in Beijing.
Guo said that the 19th CPC National Congress drew a blueprint for building China into a great modern socialist country by 2050, which includes efforts in advancing law-based governance.
"This brings huge opportunities for China and Ukraine to deepen judicial cooperation," Guo said, calling for the implementation of the consensus of the two countries' leaders and further strengthening legal and judicial cooperation, so as to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the peoples and institutions of the two countries and further boost bilateral ties.
