The friendly and cooperative relations between the People's Republic of China and the Kingdom of Lesotho grew steadily in 2013.

The two countries strengthened their political mutual trust and maintained close coordination and collaboration in international affairs. In March, King Letsie III of Lesotho and Prime Minister Motsoahae Thomas Thabane sent congratulatory letters to President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang respectively on their assumption of office. In April, Prime Minister Thabane sent a letter of sympathy to Premier Li over the earthquake in Lushan, Sichuan Province. In July, Lesotho's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Local Government and Chieftainship Mothetjoa Metsing visited China.

In August, Lesotho's Minister of Health and Social Welfare Pinkie Manamolela attended the Ministerial Forum of China-Africa Health Development in China. The two countries continued to support and collaborate with each other at the United Nations and other international organizations.

Steady progress was made in the bilateral economic and trade cooperation and specific projects. China completed several assistance and cooperation projects in Lesotho, including the first phase of the technical cooperation project of land use and physical planning, the radio and television network expansion project and the solar energy demonstration project.
