On June 30, 2007, visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi held talks with his Mongolian counterpart Nyamaa Enkhbold and both sides spoke highly of bilateral ties.

Yang said currently China-Mongolia relations and cooperation in all areas have been developing smoothly. Mongolia is an important neighbor of China and China will make joint efforts with Mongolia to shore up a bilateral good-neighborly partnership based on mutual trust. He said China respects Mongolia's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the development road chosen by Mongolian people.

Enkhbold said that Yang's choosing of Mongolia as the destination for his first foreign visit as foreign minister demonstrated the high importance the Chinese government attached to Mongolia-China relations. He said since the two countries signed a treaty on friendly cooperation in 1994, bilateral cooperation in all areas has made rapid progress. The foreign minister said his country would contribute to pushing China-Mongolia good-neighborly partnership based on mutual trust and mutually beneficial cooperation on an equal footing for long-term development. He stressed Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole China, reiterating Mongolia's adherence to the one-China policy. Enkhbold also said that Tibet is an inalienable part of China and the Tibet question is the internal affair of China. Mongolia will stick to its steadfast position of not supporting any activity aimed at separating China, he added.

Both sides agreed to strengthen political communication, maintain high-level exchanges and conduct cooperation on diplomacy, defense and security so as to build political trust. They also pledged to expand economic and trade cooperation, especially in such key areas as mineral resources exploitation and infrastructure construction to achieve mutual benefits and a win-win situation. The two sides agreed to enhance exchanges and cooperation on culture, protection of cultural relics, archaeology, education, tourism, judicature, environmental protection and disaster prevention, as well as regional contacts, to enrich bilateral ties. The two also suggested both countries boost cooperation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as well as in East Asia and international affairs so as to expand common interests.

Following the talks, both sides signed three cooperation agreements concerning economy, technology and seismic management. They also jointly met the press.

At the invitation of Mongolian Foreign Minister Enkhbold, the Chinese foreign minister arrived in Ulaanbaatar on the noon of June 30 for a 3-day visit to Mongolia.
