Wang made the remarks during talks with visiting Mongolian Foreign Minister Damdin Tsogtbaatar. "China and Mongolia are friendly neighbors," said Wang, adding that the new Mongolian government has sent a clear message to the Chinese side on maintaining mutual trust and properly handling sensitive issues, and the country has expressed a strong desire to deepen cooperation with China. According to Wang, China welcomes Mongolia's attitude and believes bilateral ties will continue in the right direction and benefit the two countries.
