During the meeting, Calderon asked Yang to give his regards to his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao and congratulated on the opening of the 4th meeting of China-Mexico Permanent Bi-national Commission. Calderon also spoke highly of China's effective reaction to the global financial crisis and its steady economic growth. Mexico and China are big developing countries and have huge cooperation potential, Calderon said. He said that Mexico attaches great importance to strengthening the strategic partnership with China and hopes to intensify the exchanges at top level and increase the bilateral trade and investment. Calderon said he also expects to strengthen communication and coordination with China at multilateral mechanisms and jointly cope with global challenges, such as climate change.

Meanwhile, Yang gave Calderon the regards from President Hu, saying that China and Mexico are important developing countries. Yang said that under the current complex and changing international circumstances, the strengthening of the strategic cooperation between China and Mexico not only benefits the prosperity of both countries, but also is significant to intensifying the unity and cooperation among developing countries. The strategic cooperation will also raise the overall strength of developing countries and will promote peace and development in the world, Yang said. "China always views the China-Mexico relations from a strategic perspective and regards Mexico as a good friend, a good partner in Latin America and China is ready to carry out the important consensus reached between the leaders of the two countries," Yang added. Yang said that China would also like to expand cooperation through the China-Mexico Permanent Bi-national Commission and other mechanisms and intensify coordination and collaboration with Mexico over important international issues to further push forward the strategic partnership between the two countries.
