Wang made the remarks during talks with his Nigerien counterpart Bakary Yaou Sangaré in the central Chinese city of Changsha on Wednesday.
“The two sides should properly handle the differences and problems encountered in cooperation through dialogue,” Wang said, according to a Chinese foreign ministry readout of the meeting, which was held on the sidelines of a conference of African ministers.
Niger’s ruling junta in March expelled three Chinese oil executives working for China National Petroleum Corporation and CNPC subsidiaries over salary disparities between expatriate and lower-paid local workers. The junta also revoked the licence of a Chinese-owned hotel in the capital Niamey, citing “discriminatory practices and administrative violations”.
