Chinese President Xi Jinping and Ecuador's leader Daniel Noboa exchanged warm messages Thursday, celebrating 45 years of diplomatic relations marked by booming trade and cultural bonds.
In his message, Xi highlighted the 'fruitful results' of their partnership, including the landmark China-Ecuador Free Trade Agreement that has turbocharged economic collaboration. 'Our friendship is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people,' he added, pledging to elevate ties further.
Noboa called the anniversary a 'milestone,' praising Ecuador's participation in China's Belt and Road Initiative (think infrastructure meets global connectivity ). The initiative – along with the trade pact – has 'improved well-being for both peoples,' he noted.
Key wins in the partnership: – Tech & energy cooperation – Agricultural exports (Ecuador's shrimp and bananas are staples in Chinese markets) – Two-way trade growth since FTA implementation
