They support each other in upholding sovereignty, security and development interests.

The two sides need to collaborate on culture, media, education, sports, youth and at subnational levels, speed up high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, while deepening and expanding cooperation in agriculture, energy, infrastructure, space and other fields, Xi said, adding that China is ready to import more quality products from Argentina.

China will maintain close collaboration with Argentina at the Group of 20 and other multilateral fora to uphold true multilateralism, implement the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative, and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind, Xi added.

For his part, Fernandez extended congratulations again and in person to Xi on his re-election as general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
