The two sides have also expressed willingness to conduct more exchanges in areas including diplomacy, military affairs, economy and trade, health, agriculture, tourism, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and law enforcement, Wang said, adding that this has injected new impetus into the interactions of the two countries in the future.
