Premier Li said on Dec 15 that China and Tajikistan have always maintained high-level strategic mutual trust, during a meeting with Tajik Prime Minister Kokhir Rasulzoda in Zhengzhou, capital of Central China’s Henan province.

Rasulzoda thanked China for its help after this summer’s disastrous mudslides in Tajikistan, saying, “China was the first country that accepted our request and offered help, which again shows the high-level bilateral relations between our two countries.”

Rasulzoda came to China to attend the 14th Shanghai Cooperation Organization prime ministers’ meeting.
