(CNN) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao met with British Prime Minister David Cameron in Beijing on Wednesday and said cooperation was stronger than competition between China and Britain because the two economies were compatible with each other, Chinese state media reported.
Hu said he was "impressed" by Cameron's effort to develop the China-Britain relationship, the Xinhua news agency said.
Hu noted that Cameron, the youngest British prime minister in 200 years, and his cabinet "are energetic" and predicted that bilateral relations would continue to grow under Cameron's leadership, Xinhua said.
Cameron, 44, and a contingent of ministers and business leaders descended on Beijing Tuesday as part of a tour to boost bilateral trade with the world's second-largest economy.
