On November 24, 2006, Wu Bangguo, Chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress (NPC), met with a joint delegation of the Liberian Senate and the House headed by Liberian temporary Senate Speaker Isaac Wehyee Nyenabo at the Great Hall of the People.

Wu said since the resumption of diplomatic ties in 2003, bilateral ties have been developing smoothly with noticeable achievements in cooperation in all areas. China supports Liberia's peace process and economic reconstruction. President Hu Jintao and President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf formulated plans for the future development of bilateral ties during Johnson-Sirleaf's recent China visit, and also identified crucial fields for bilateral cooperation, Wu said, vowing that China will work with Liberia to carry out pragmatic cooperation in the fields of agricultural production, resource development and infrastructure construction, and strengthen friendly inter-parliamentary, inter-party, regional and people-to-people exchanges so as to push for bilateral ties.

Wu said that the two parliaments play key roles in their respective countries' political and social lives. Wu also expressed his appreciation of the Liberian parliament's recent adoption of a resolution reaffirming its one-China policy. The NPC expects to intensify friendly exchanges with the Liberian parliament and conduct exchanges and cooperation on building democracy and legal system, Wu said, expressing his hope that the exchanges would inject new vitality into bilateral relations.

The two sides spoke highly of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation held at the beginning of November, deeming the summit a very important event linking the past with future. They believed the implementation of the results achieved at the Beijing Summit would help develop a new type of China-Africa strategic partnership.

Nyenabo said the Liberia-China friendship is deeply rooted in the hearts of the two peoples and is also an irreversible historical trend. He hoped to see a greater role of the two parliaments in developing bilateral ties. Nyenabo reaffirmed that the Liberian government and parliament would adhere to the one-China policy in deed as well as in word and never change such a position.
