In an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency before his visit to China, Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship Gé ctor zimmermann said that in the face of a new round of international financial market shocks, South American countries hope to strengthen financial cooperation with China and resist the challenge of the international financial crisis.

Zimmermann said that the foreign exchange reserves of all UNASUR members add up to one fifth to one quarter of the global foreign exchange reserves, and China ranks first in the world.
