Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi signed on Friday a four-year co-operation accord with Mexico aimed at boosting political and economic ties. The deal, also signed by Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa at the end of talks in the Mexican capital, covered a wide range of themes, from science and technology to culture.
Some 150 government workers from both countries took part in the latest bilateral talks, which began on Thursday and also touched on climate change ahead of a major UN summit in Cancun in December. Yang said his government would make a maximum effort to help the Cancun meeting reach its objectives.
China is due to host an extra round of climate talks in October before the Cancun meeting, which seeks to agree on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which expires in 2012. China is Mexico's second largest trading partner after the United States. Yang was due to travel to Cuba and Costa Rica before returning to China on August 4.
