Interests of Beijing and Kuwait intersect at various levels and the two countries cooperate in the fields of investments, energy, oil and commerce, Mohammed Al-Thuwaikh said in a statement to KUNA on the sidelines of the “Forum for Sustainable Development between GCC and China” held here. He said the rise in trade figures being registered every year was a reflection of the improving Chinese-Kuwaiti relations, and noted that major strides were taken since the visit of HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to the Asian nation in 2009. The two states have been seeking to bolster their friendly ties and cooperation ever since that visit. This was the third such forum aimed at cementing the bonds of friendship and was a result of the cooperation between the council of GCC ambassadors in Beijing and the Chinese Communist party. China now boasts having second largest economy in the world, after the US, and is expected to become the number-one economic super power by 2020.
