On April 2, 2010, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi held talks with Luxembourg Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Jean Assleborn, who is here in China for an official visit.

Yang said since the establishment of diplomatic ties, China and Luxembourg have respected each other and treated each other as equals and both sides have built up firm mutual trust with substantial development of bilateral economic cooperation. China deems Luxembourg as a friendly and equal partner and is ready to continue carrying out exchanges with Luxembourg at all levels. China will cement cooperation with Luxembourg on areas like finance, steel, environmental protection and clean energy and promote cultural and educational exchanges, to ensure better development of bilateral ties. Yang also expressed appreciation for Luxembourg to support the Shanghai Expo, saying he looked forward to the excellent showcase of the Luxembourg Pavilion.

Assleborn said Luxembourg attaches great importance to bilateral relations and would like to work with the Chinese side to beef up exchanges and cooperation. Luxembourg will showcase itself to China and the whole world at the Shanghai Expo.

Both sides also exchanged views on regional and international issues of common concern.
