Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday hailed his country's new "strategic partnership" with Colombia, state media reported, as he welcomed the leader of the South American nation to Beijing.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro arrived in the Chinese capital on Tuesday for a state visit that his office had said would see him and Xi "sign a plan for the growth of bilateral relations and cooperation instruments".

Footage from Chinese state broadcaster CCTV showed Xi, flanked by a coterie of top officials, sitting opposite Petro's delegation at a vast table in an ornately decorated room at Beijing's Great Hall of the People.

"I am pleased to jointly announce with you the upgrading of the China-Colombia relationship to a strategic partnership," Xi told Petro.

Relations between Beijing and Bogota "have always maintained good development momentum", the Chinese leader said.

China is "willing to work with (Bogota) to draw up a blueprint for China-Colombia relations... better benefit our two peoples, and inject positive energy into world peace and development", he added.

Petro's visit is scheduled to end on Thursday.

His office said this week that the trip also aims to "diversify and increase exports to China".
