In the past 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the country has emerged from civil war and poverty to become a player on the world stage, the chief of Mexico's state-run news agency said.
"China has changed substantially over the last 60 years," said Sergio Uzeta Murcio, director general of the Notimex news agencym, in a recent interview with Xinhua.
"Sixty years ago, China was a poor country emerging from a civil war," Uzeta said.
Leaders of the new China have steered the nation onto a path of national development and economic growth, and have transformed China, he said.
"There have been strategic advances in the last 60 years," he said. "China is on the way to becoming a world power of the 21st century. China is influential in lots of areas in the world."
Uzeta said Mexico and China, both large markets, have much in common.
"There are many areas in which we can explore and grow together," he said. "We have a lot of political points in common."
The two nations have worked together in the United Nations Security Council, of which China is a permanent member and where Mexico has a rotating seat, he added.
