Xi meets president of Iceland
BEIJING -- President Xi Jinping on Tuesday met with President of Iceland Halla Tomasdottir, who is in Beijing for the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women.
Xi said the fruitful outcomes of the bilateral relationship between China and Iceland over the past 54 years have demonstrated that countries with different national conditions can transcend differences in social systems and achieve mutual benefits and win-win results.
The two countries should continue to respect and support each other's paths of development, and firmly back one another on issues concerning their respective core interests and major concerns, Xi noted.
He called on both sides to deepen practical cooperation in areas including the economy, trade, geothermal energy, and healthcare, while advancing the green transition and addressing climate change.
