Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with South African Vice President Cyril Ramaphosa here on Tuesday, vowing to enhance cooperation with South Africa.

Calling the two economies highly compatible, Li said South Africa is committed to boosting industrialization and infrastructure, while China has advanced and cost-effective assembly lines for steel, building materials and consumer products.

"We hope to enhance capacity cooperation with South Africa, and carry out technology exchanges and personnel training," Li said.

He also vowed to enhance cooperation with South Africa in such areas as nuclear power, ports, offshore gas exploration and aquiculture.

Ramaphosa told Li South Africa highly values its relations with China as well as Africa-China ties.

South Africa hopes to learn from China's experience in industrialization and economic zone development, and facilitate bilateral cooperation in such areas as capacity, ocean economy and energy, he said.

Ramaphosa also welcomed China to expand investment in South Africa.

Li hailed the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his South African counterpart Jacob Zuma last week during the 7th Summit of the BRICS in Ufa of Russia.

"China is ready to strengthen political trust and win-win cooperation with South Africa, enhance coordination in global and regional affairs, and work with other African countries to set an example for South-South cooperation," Li said.

Ramaphosa is visiting China from July 13 to 17 at the invitation of Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao.
