BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhua) -- China will work with Burundi to advance bilateral ties, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said here on Tuesday.

China will fully implement all the cooperative measures announced by China at the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2006, and make joint efforts with Burundi to deepen the traditional China-Burundi friendship of cooperation.

He Yong, member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and also deputy-secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, made the remarks when meeting with the chairman of Burundi's National Council for the Defense of Democracy - Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) Jeremie Ngendakumana.

The CNDD-FDD is Burundi's ruling party.

The CPC will also step up its relationship with Burundi's ruling party and its government, in accordance with the principles of independence, complete equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal affairs, said He.

Ngendakumana, who started his China visit from Monday, agreed to make efforts to advance both inter-party and state-to-state ties. He also reaffirmed the CNDD-FDD and Burundian government's firm adherence to the one-China policy.
