BEIJING Cheap Denver Nuggets Shirts , Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- With Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela beginning his state visit to China here on Thursday, the first such trip by a Panamanian leader, the two countries are expected to mark a milestone in their bilateral relationship.
During the week-long visit, Varela will meet Chinese leaders and take a bullet train to make an around-four-hour trip at a maximum speed of 350 kmh along the 1,318-km rail between Beijing and Shanghai, a major economic hub of China.
Before the establishment of their diplomatic relationship in June, China and Panama had expanded economic and trade cooperation in many sectors.
Last year alone, bilateral trade hit 6.38 billion U.S. dollars while China's direct investment in the Central American country exceeded 230 million dollars.
In just a few months since the two sides officially sent ambassadors to each other's country, bilateral ties have seen new and swift progress.
According to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the two countries have already initiated more than a dozen cooperation agreements in areas such as trade, investment, quality inspection, maritime transportation, aviation, finance and tourism.
There is even greater potential for future development.
Endowed with an advantageous geographical position, Panama constitutes one of the most important maritime transportation hubs in the world. The Panama Canal is a key conduit for international maritime trade. Every year, China has over 1,000 ships passing through the 77-km waterway, making it the world's second largest user of the canal.
Panama also supports China's Belt and Road Initiative, which comprises the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, and hopes to be a part of it, serving as a bridge that links China with other countries in the region.
For cooperation between the two countries to grow and prosper, a stable progress of bilateral relations, deepening political mutual trust as well as strong respect for each other's core interests is needed. Panama's avowed commitment to the one China policy has shown its sincerity to have a solid foundation for bilateral ties.
It is also hoped that Panama can play a greater role to help China build a stronger relationship with other countries in Central and South America.
China is willing to join hands with Panama and promote mutually beneficial cooperation. As it focuses on forging a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation, China is ready to work with other countries to build a community of shared future for mankind.
In that cause, China and Panama can become long-term and reliable partners that can enjoy shared progress and prosperity in the long run, and President Varela's visit may well witness a fresh start for that rewarding journey.
MADRID, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Matchday 12 of the Liga Santander was a good one for FC Barcelona as they won 3-0 away to Leganes and then watched as Atletico and Real Madrid play out a 0-0 draw in the first Madrid derby to be played in the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
Luis Suarez had not scored in almost 500 minutes before he opened the scoring in Leganes' Butarque Stadium, taking advantage of a bad error from home keeper, Ivan Cuellar.
He added a second with the help of a rebound after the break, before Paulinho sealed the win with a toe poke in the closing minutes.
That momentarily opened an 11 point win over Atletico and Real Madrid, and although that had been reduced to 10 points by the end of the day, the Madrid derby did little to show that either of the two sides look capable of catching Barca.
Atletico started out as the stronger of the two sides and should have taken the lead through Angel Correa, but Real Madrid gradually began to take control and had the best chance of the game after Cristiano Ronaldo's late shot was blocked by Lucas Hernandez.
Nevertheless, the game highlighted the problems both sides are currently facing with Atletico lacking creativity in midfield, while both Ronaldo and Karim Benzema again disappointed for Real in attack.
The result in the Wanda gave Valencia the chance to open up a six-point lead over the two Madrid sides if they won away to Espanyol, and despite suffering in the first half against a rival that hit the post twice, that is exactly what they did thanks to a spectacular second half strike from Geoffrey Kondogbia and a smart finish from Santi Mina following an error from Victor Sanchez.
Villarreal and Athletic Club Bilbao shared the points in a 1-1 draw in Bilbao. Manu Trigueros, who had earlier seen a penalty saved by Kepa, opened the scoring for Villarreal, but Aritz Aduriz's second half header ensured a well-deserved point for the home side.
Malaga came back from behind to win their second match of the campaign 3-2 at home to Deportivo la Coruna following a frantic 90 minutes.
Borja Baston scored the winning goal five minutes from time after Chori Castro had levelled the scores following goals from Lucas Perez and Fabian Schar that put the visitors ahead following Rosales' opener for Malaga.
Meanwhile, Las Palmas slipped to their eighth consecutive defeat and the bottom of the table as they lost 2-0 at home to Levante, who ended a six game run without a win with goals from Cheick Doukoure and Jason in the last 20 minutes.
Saturday saw Sevilla coach Eduardo Berizzo enjoy a happy reunion against his former club Celta Vigo as Sevilla came back from a goal down to win 2-1.
