Chilean President Sebastian Pinera on Monday met with senior Chinese lawmaker Wang Zhaoguo to discuss ways to deepen bilateral cooperation. During the meeting, Pinera extended a warm welcome to Wang Zhaoguo, who is leading a delegation of the National People's Congress delegation (NPC), China's top legislature, to Chile for a three-day official visit starting from last Saturday.

He believed that the visit would deepen the existing profound friendship between the two countries.

Pinera said the Chilean government regards its relations with China with a strategic perspective and attaches great importance to developing bilateral ties that have been forged for 42 years.
