🇨🇳 China-Africa summit nears as Beijing seeks to bolster relations with Africa

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong said on Friday that now is "the right time" to deepen cooperation between China and Africa, ahead of an upcoming China-Africa summit in Beijing next month.

Chen told a press conference on Friday that China and Africa should use the meeting to sound a “strong voice” for the Global South in the reform of global governance.

“China and African countries are both important members of the Global South, and Africa is experiencing a new awakening by actively promoting the process of unity, self-improvement, and integration," he added.

Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the opening of the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) on September 5th and Xi will deliver a keynote speech in which he will announce a new package of aid to Africa.
