China's National People's Congress (NPC), the top legislative body, is willing to deepen exchanges with the Albanian People's Assembly, said top legislator Wu Bangguo on Friday.

The NPC will maintain high-level contact and exchanges between various special committees and friendly teams with the Albanian side to enhance mutual understanding and promote bilateral relations, said Wu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, during a meeting with visiting President of the Assembly Jozefina Topalli.

Topalli said the Albanian People's Assembly will further enhance its relations with the NPC and push forward China-Albania cooperation in various fields.

She also reiterated the adherence of the Albanian government and People's Assembly to the one-China policy.

Jia Qinglin, China's top political advisor, also met with Topalli on Friday afternoon.

Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said China attaches great importance on the bilateral relations with Albania, respects the way of development chosen by the Albanian people and understands its efforts to join the EU integration.

China is willing to work with Albania to strengthen bilateral political dialogue on various levels and deepen cooperation in all fields in order to push forward a long-term, stable and comprehensive development of China-Albania relations, he said.

Jia also expressed the willingness of the CPPCC to strengthen exchanges with the Albanian People's Assembly in participating in the deliberation and administration of state affairs.

Topalli echoed Jia, saying that the Albanian People's Assembly will make efforts to promote the bilateral exchanges between the two bodies.
