YAOUNDE, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu
Jintao wrapped up his state visit to Cameroon Thursday, leaving the Cameroonian
capital of Yaounde for Monrovia, Liberia, the second leg of his eight-nation
tour of Africa.
In Yaounde, President Hu met his Cameroonian
counterpart Paul Biya and other leaders of the central western African country,
to exchange views on how to consolidate friendship and deepen cooperation
between China and the host country.
The two sides signed a series of cooperation
documents during the visit.
In recent years, the China-Cameroon relations have
become increasingly mature, with bilateral political friendship enhanced,
economic and trade cooperation expanded and human resources exchanges increased.
President Hu's tour of Africa will also take him to
Sudan, Zambia, Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique and Seychelles.
In a written statement issued upon his arrival at the
Yaounde International Airport Tuesday, President Hu described his African trip
as "a journey of friendship and cooperation."
He said that his current visit to the eight African
countries is aimed at consolidating the traditional friendship between China and
Africa, implementing the agreements reached at the Beijing Summit of the Forum
on China-Africa Cooperation last November, enlarging substantial cooperation and
promoting common development.
At the Beijing summit, leaders of China and 48
African countries agreed to establish and develop a new type of strategic
partnership, featuring political equality, mutual trust, win-win economic
cooperation and cultural exchanges.
