US president-elect Barack Obama Monday reiterated that he would continue to develop ties with China.

Former US president Jimmy Carter, in Beijing to attend events to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties, conveyed Obama's message to President Hu Jintao when they met in the Great Hall of the People Monday.

Hu called Obama over the phone on Nov 9 and congratulated him on his victory in the US presidential election.

Thanking Hu for the gesture, Obama told him China's development and success and US interests were related. Obama also hoped the US and China would strengthen cooperation and develop bilateral relations further.

At Monday's meeting, Hu called Carter "an old friend of China". He said: "You played an important role in establishing China-US diplomatic ties and witnessed that historic decision."

The "ping-pong diplomacy" melted the ice between the two countries, after which US president Richard Nixon paid a groundbreaking visit to China in 1972. Finally, the two countries established diplomatic ties on Jan 1, 1979.
