JUBA, May 21 (Xinhua) -- South Sudan vowed on Tuesday to strengthen cooperation on infrastructural development with China to speed up transformation of the country following five years of turmoil.

Rebecca Joshua Okwaci, minister of roads and bridges, said China has provided strong support for South Sudan's peace and stability, including the country's national development, adding that Chinese engineers are currently helping the ministry to build the capacity of staff and construction personnel.

"With the advancement of South Sudan's peace process, South Sudan and China will strengthen cooperation in infrastructure construction and personnel training," Okwaci said in Juba.
