China is ready to boost its cooperation with South Africa to a higher level.

President Hu Jintao said on Friday that China is ready to boost its cooperation with South Africa to a higher level.

Hu made the remark while meeting with visiting South African Vice President Petrus Kgalema Mothlanthe at Beijing's Great Hall of the People on Friday morning.  Bilateral relations have picked up since China and Africa established diplomatic links in 1998, with Hu visiting South Africa in 2007 and South African President Jacob Zuma visiting China in 2010. During Zuma's visit, the heads of state signed the Beijing Declaration and established a strategic partnership.
