BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday met with Sylvanie Burton, president of the Commonwealth of Dominica, who is in Beijing for the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women.

Noting that Dominica is a close friend and partner of China in the Caribbean, Xi said China stands ready to work with Dominica to elevate bilateral relations to a higher level and deliver more benefits to both peoples.

China and Dominica should consolidate political mutual trust, strengthen exchanges of governance experience, and enhance interactions between governments, legislative bodies, and political parties, Xi said.

China stands ready to continue supporting Dominica in enhancing its capacity in climate change response, and disaster prevention and reduction, he said.

China is willing to strengthen cooperation with Dominica in infrastructure, clean energy, healthcare, agriculture and women's empowerment, and promote cultural, educational, tourism and other people-to-people exchanges, he added.

Xi urged enhancing multilateral coordination and jointly implementing the four global initiatives to build a community with a shared future for humanity.

He also called for implementing the consensus reached at the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women and stepping up cooperation in women's capacity building.

Dominica firmly upholds the one-China principle and stands ready to deepen cooperation with China in economy, trade, agriculture, the green economy, new energy, healthcare, and climate change response, Burton said.

Hailing China as an important force for global peace and stability, Burton said Dominica is willing to work closely with China in opposing unilateralism and hegemonism and in safeguarding the common interests of developing countries.

Wang Yi attended the meeting.
