China will continue to provide support and assistance within its capacity to Micronesia, the ambassador said, voicing the belief that bilateral relations will witness greater development with joint efforts of the two sides.

Micronesia is grateful for China's long-time assistance and support for its economic and social development, and is looking forward to promoting bilateral ties by carrying out close cooperation with China, fully tapping cooperation potential and strengthening coordination in regional and global affairs, Mori said.

Li was appointed ambassador to Micronesia earlier this month and arrived in Pohnpei, Micronesia, on Monday. Endi
