Summit to chart teamwork with Africa

China Daily  

Beijing has confirmed that the upcoming 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation next month is expected to adopt two important documents and "chart the path for high-quality cooperation between China and Africa over the next three years". In his speech, Xi will outline new ideas and propositions on building a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future, and "will announce new actions and initiatives on practical cooperation with Africa", Chen said. "China and Africa have long been a natural community with a shared future, because the two sides have exchanged support in the international arena and have forged deep bonds and friendship over the past decades," said Wang Yiwei, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of International Studies and director of the university's Institute of International Affairs. Facts prove that China is Africa's reliable partner and true friend," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said earlier this week.
