On January 10th, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, concluded his visits to Namibia, Congo (Brazzaville), Chad, and Nigeria. At the beginning of the new year, the tradition of the Chinese Foreign Minister's first visit to Africa has been upheld for 35 years, and has become a landmark action in international exchanges with Africa, reflecting China's firm will to carry out friendly cooperation with Africa and the profound friendship between China and Africa that is stronger than gold. This also shows the world that no matter what changes occur in the international and regional situation, China has always been Africa's strongest backing on the international stage, and has always placed Africa in a priority and important position in China's overall diplomacy. Consolidate traditional friendships. Deep friendship is a prominent feature and unique advantage of China Africa relations. Wang Yi pointed out that the Chinese Foreign Minister visits Africa for the first time every year, initiating a new year's diplomatic process from Africa. This practice has been consistent for 35 years and has never changed or wavered. Firstly, it is because we cherish the enduring friendship between China and Africa. Namibian President Mbemba stated that despite differences in size, Namibia and China have always maintained friendship, unity, and cooperation, and have always respected and supported each other. Chadian President Mohamed pointed out that China is an important strategic partner and trustworthy friend of Chad, and the relationship between the two countries has become a model of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win. Against the backdrop of accelerating changes over the past century and intertwined international turmoil, the unbreakable friendship between China and Africa is a precious asset for both sides, worth cherishing and remembering. Implement the summit outcomes. Wang Yi pointed out that "this year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation and the beginning of the implementation of the outcomes of the Beijing Summit. I have had in-depth exchanges and reached broad consensus with the presidents, foreign ministers, and others of the four countries we visited on the implementation of the summit outcomes." Wang Yi further pointed out that through in-depth communication with the African co chair country of the Forum, Congo (Brazzaville), we have formulated a "timetable" and "roadmap" for the development of the Forum in the next three years. This year, we will focus on holding a ministerial meeting of coordinators to implement the results of the forum, and promote more "early gains" from the summit outcomes. Currently, facing an increasingly complex international environment and a relatively difficult internal development environment, African countries look forward to the high-quality implementation of summit outcomes to provide assistance for their own economic and social development. China is well aware of the high expectations of African countries for the implementation of the summit outcomes. Through the Foreign Minister's first visit in the new year, China has extensively listened to the opinions of African countries and strived for the early implementation of the summit outcomes. In recent years, the Chinese Foreign Minister's first visit to Africa during the New Year has focused on promoting the implementation of the results of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation and jointly planned with African leaders. The implementation of forum results usually takes 3 years as a cycle, with a very tight pace. Through the first visit of the foreign minister, China and African countries have continuously consulted and reflected on the implementation of the forum's outcomes, ensuring high-quality implementation of the forum's results and truly benefiting both China and Africa. Behind the Chinese Foreign Minister's first visit to Africa in the new year is the continuous efforts of China and Africa to promote cooperation and achieve win-win results. Firmly support each other. Both China and Africa are developing countries and important components of the 'Global South', sharing common strategic interests on the international stage. The Chinese Foreign Minister's first visit to Africa in the new year itself is a firm support for the development and revitalization of Africa. During a conversation with Nigerian President Tinubu, Wang Yi expressed China's support for Nigeria to play a greater role on the international stage. Tinubu stated that China has significant international influence and hopes that China will support Nigeria in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs. Chadian President Mohamed stated that China is committed to upholding global fairness and justice, playing a constructive role in resolving hot issues. Chad is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China, defend common positions, and safeguard common interests. The leaders of the four countries firmly support the One China principle and China's efforts to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests. This firm mutual support will help build a more just and reasonable global governance system, thereby creating a better external environment for China and Africa to work together to achieve modernization, and opening up a better prospect for promoting the great cause of building a community with a shared future for mankind. The warm and candid images of friendly exchanges between China and Africa, discussing friendship, cooperation, and support, also inspire and encourage the unity and cooperation of the 'Global South'. Time is the best proof of China Africa friendship. The Chinese Foreign Minister's first visit to Africa during the New Year has become a shining business card for international exchanges with Africa, reflecting the glorious prospects of unity and cooperation in the "Global South".
