Beijing (IINA) – Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to improve ties with Mauritania within the framework of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum, Xinhua reported. He made the remarks during a meeting with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz here on Monday.
Abdel Aziz arrived in China to attend the second China-Arab States Expo, a key platform to promote ties between China and Arab states, in Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, northwest of China.
Xi thanked Mauritania for its firm support on issues concerning China's core interests and major concerns. China will maintain close contact with Mauritania and enhance bilateral cooperation in such areas as culture, media, education and youth, he said.
President Xi expressed willingness to deepen cooperation with Mauritania in infrastructure construction, mining, fisheries, agriculture, hydropower and clean energy.
China will share its experience in developing special economic zones and industrial parks with Mauritania, and will continue to dispatch medical teams and medical supplies to the nation, he added.
China is ready to work with Mauritania and other African countries to hold a successful Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), and its sixth ministerial meeting in December this year in South Africa, said Xi.
Abdel Aziz said Mauritania values the traditional friendship with China and will actively participate in the Belt and Road Initiative. He welcomed Chinese enterprises to invest in Mauritania. 
Mauritania hopes to enhance communication and coordination with China in international affairs and will contribute to the eventual success of the FOCAC summit, said Abdel Aziz.
After their talks, the two heads of state witnessed the signing of six cooperative documents, covering the areas of economic and technical cooperation, infrastructure construction and health care.
