President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message on Tuesday to Javier Milei on his election as president of Argentina, and also extended his congratulations to Joseph Nyumah Boakai on his election as president of Liberia. In his congratulatory message to Milei, Xi said that China and Argentina, both of which are major developing countries and emerging economies, have been committed to mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and firmly supported each other on issues concerning each other's core interests. The practical cooperation between the two countries in various fields has brought tangible benefits to the two peoples, he said. Noting that China-Argentina friendship has deep roots among the two peoples, Xi said that it has become the consensus for people from all walks of life in both countries to advance the development of bilateral relations.
