In recent years, China has made great achievements in fishery development, and has carried out a series of fishery cooperation with Liberia. China-Liberia fishery cooperation has broad prospects and huge potential. China is willing to continue to uphold the concept of sincerity, friendship and equality, and work with Liberia to explore new areas of bilateral pragmatic cooperation for the benefit of the two peoples.
