Unity and cooperation, working together for the future -- Interpretation of State Councilor Wang Yi's first visit to Africa in the beginning of the year

2022-01-11

In December last year, Xiaolu took everyone to follow the footsteps of State Councilor Wang Yi to "flash" to visit Africa. Cloud looked at the eighth ministerial meeting of the Forum on China Africa cooperation and interpreted that important visit with the four keywords of "retrograde", "first", "public action" and "practice". At the beginning of the new year, just after the new year's holiday, the Royal Commission set out again retrograde, set foot on the hot land of Africa, and visited Eritrea, Kenya and Comoros. A little friend asked Xiaolu, why is Africa again? In fact, the answer has long been forthcoming: This is the first visit to Africa by a Chinese Foreign Minister for 32 consecutive years, which has formed a good tradition. China's practical actions show that its original intention of friendship with Africa remains unchanged and its cooperation with Africa is unimpeded. For the keywords of this line, see the decomposition: This is a journey of friendship. China Africa friendship has a long history and a deep foundation. Aggression, slavery and oppression are common experiences imposed on China and Africa; Anti colonialism, anti imperialism and anti hegemony are the common struggles of China and Africa; Independence, development and revitalization are the common pursuit of China and Africa; Fairness, justice and unity are the common language of China and Africa. Fifty years ago, African brothers "carried" China into the United Nations and played a key role in restoring new China's legitimate seat in the United Nations, and China has always stood firmly with African countries. China established diplomatic relations with Eritrea on the day of its founding; China is also the first country to recognize the independence of the Comoros and establish diplomatic relations with it. The two countries bear this in mind. Kenya city specially arranged one belt, one road to Mombasa, the port city, which was the 3 visit to Zheng and the western region 600 years ago. During this visit, the foreign ministers of the three countries went to the airport to welcome the Chinese delegation. Eritrean president Isaias talked with the Royal committee chairman for three hours, recalled his learning experience in China 55 years ago and talked freely about his indissoluble bond with the Chinese people; Kenyatta, President of Kenya, invited the Royal Commission to attend the completion ceremony of the oil terminal after the meeting, criticized the "teachers" of the West with personal experience and strong comparison, and praised China's sincerity to Africa; Comoros President Azali said happily that the Royal Commission's visit is like adding sugar to coffee, and friends are particularly happy to meet. China has a special weight in the hearts of the Comorian people, and the Comorian people are elated by China's achievements. This is a journey to promote peace. In recent years, some extraterritorial powers have wrestled in Africa for geopolitical influence, resulting in frequent hot issues and constant conflicts and confrontations in Africa. Especially in the horn of Africa, the Tigre war is stuck, and tensions are still rising. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and an African partner, China is deeply concerned and worried about this and is busy for peace and security in Africa. During his visit to Africa last month, the Royal Commission flew to Ethiopia at night. When he got off the plane, he held talks with Ethiopia's deputy prime minister and foreign minister at the airport. During this visit, the Royal Commission had an in-depth exchange of views with the three countries, put forward the "concept of peaceful development in the horn of Africa" with a view to long-term stability, peace and prosperity, recommended that regional countries convene a peace conference in the horn of Africa, build a "two axis + two-strait" development framework, explore a development path suitable for regional realities, and expressed China's willingness to appoint a special envoy for horn of Africa affairs of the Ministry of foreign affairs, All parties responded positively. Isayas expressed his firm opposition to external forces creating social divisions and ethnic contradictions in the region and welcomed China's important role in the horn of Africa. Kenyatta said that this concept meets the urgent needs of countries in the horn of Africa, and Kenya fully agrees and is willing to play an active role. This is a journey to boost development. Achieving common development and prosperity is an important part of building a China Africa community of common destiny in the new era. *** *** The Royal Commission strengthened the connection with the three countries to form early harvest: it discussed with Eritrea to strengthen cooperation in energy, mining and fishery, so as to transform Eritrea's rich natural advantages into development advantages; Signed a series of bilateral cooperation documents with Kenya on digital economy, investment, agriculture and agricultural products to China; Support Comoros to develop its advantageous industries such as spice processing, make good use of the "green channel" for agricultural products to China and the zero tariff policy of least developed countries to expand exports to China. China has fulfilled its commitment to support Africa's development with action: China has built more than 80 large-scale power facilities in Africa, assisted in the construction of more than 130 medical facilities, 45 gymnasiums and more than 170 schools, and trained more than 160000 talents in various fields for Africa. China and Africa have cooperated to build more than 10000 kilometers of railways, nearly 100000 kilometers of roads, nearly 1000 bridges and nearly 100 ports... China and Africa have effectively fought back the so-called "debt trap" theory with heavy transcripts. The Royal Commission's words are resounding: China Africa cooperation is South South cooperation and mutual support and help among developing countries. China never attaches any political conditions to its cooperation with Africa and never does anything imposed on others. The so-called "debt trap" in Africa is not a fact, but the hype of some people with ulterior motives. It is a "discourse trap" created by forces who do not want to see Africa accelerate development. If there is any "trap" in Africa, it is the "poverty trap" and "backwardness trap". Africa should be a big stage for international cooperation, not an arena for big powers to compete. If we want to compare, we will compare who has done more for Africa, who has contributed more to Africa, and who has paid more sweat and hard work for Africa. China's position was endorsed by all parties. Isaias stressed that China has never interfered in the internal affairs of other countries and is an indispensable real development partner of Africa. He expects China to play a greater role. Azali said that China's development is an opportunity for the Comoros, and China's success is Africa's success. Kenyatta is more straightforward: there are always some people who like to tell us that we have such and such problems, while China sincerely helps us solve problems and meet our needs with actions. Kenya China cooperation is a timely help between real partners. In fact, 80% of Kenya's external debt creditors are multilateral financial institutions, and the composition of Kenya's debt to China is mainly preferential loans. Facts speak louder than words. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Africa's brothers and sisters know best who is Africa's real partner. Africa has great development potential and a promising future. One belt, one road for Sino Africa cooperation, is a witness to the sincere friendship between the two sides, and we will build a promising future of "one belt and one road" and work hand in hand towards modernization. As the Royal Committee said, the 21st century is the century of Asia and Africa. The 2.7 billion Chinese and African people working together to achieve modernization will surely write the most brilliant chapter in the history of human civilization! (outlook new era)
