Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated on the 9th that China and Africa have always been "like-minded" and "action oriented" in addressing climate change and promoting green development. Green development will become another shining point in China Africa cooperation. At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: African media recently reported that due to various internal and external factors, African countries are facing pressure to achieve the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, at the same time, the further consolidation of China Africa friendship within frameworks such as the Forum on China Africa Cooperation, as well as the continuous sharing of modernization achievements between China and African countries, have laid a solid foundation for Africa's green transformation. Many African countries actively learn from China's concept and experience of "green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as gold and silver", and creatively point out that "green is as valuable as gold". What is the spokesperson's comment on this? During Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Africa, he pointed out that China supports green development in Africa and works together to promote 'eco-friendly modernization' Guo Jiakun said that China and Africa have always been "like-minded" and "action oriented" in addressing climate change and promoting green development. African countries learned from China's "Three North" shelter forest project, carried out the "Great Green Wall in Africa" plan, and strengthened the governance of the Sahara Desert. In the field of clean energy, China has implemented hundreds of projects in Africa, and the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power stations built through China Africa cooperation alone has exceeded 1.5 gigawatts. China's mushroom and grass technology has entered Africa, becoming a model for "small and beautiful" cooperation projects. Cooperation in green technologies such as wind power, geothermal energy, and solar energy helps African countries achieve energy transformation. Guo Jiakun said that in 2024, the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation proposed six propositions and ten partnership actions for China and Africa to jointly promote modernization, including promoting the construction of eco-friendly modernization and green development partnership actions. In the future, 30 clean energy projects will be implemented in Africa, 30 joint laboratories will be built, and cooperation in satellite remote sensing, moon and deep space exploration will be carried out. Green development will become another shining point in China Africa cooperation. (New Society)
