BRAZZAVILLE -  China is ready to work with African countries to elevate the reputation of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks when he was interviewed by journalists on Tuesday after meeting with Denis Sassou Nguesso, president of the Republic of the Congo.

When asked about the plans for China and the Republic of the Congo, co-chairs of the FOCAC, to implement the outcomes of the Beijing Summit, Wang said that the FOCAC has played an important role in promoting Africa's development and improving the livelihood of African people.

It has become a symbol of China-Africa solidarity and cooperation, a banner of South-South cooperation, and a model for leading international cooperation with Africa, Wang said.

Over the 25 years since the forum's establishment, China has helped Africa build 100,000 km of roads, more than 10,000 km of railways, nearly 1,000 bridges, and almost 100 ports. In the past three years, China has created more than 1 million jobs in Africa, he said.

The forum has also launched numerous livelihood projects in Africa, including initiatives focused on food, water supply, and education, benefiting people across the continent. This visit aims to collaborate with the Congolese side to build consensus on enhancing and upgrading cooperation within the forum.

Wang outlined three key considerations for implementing the outcomes of the Beijing Summit after extensive consultations:

Firstly, follow the direction of advancing modernization in six aspects proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, strengthen the alignment of development strategies and the exchange of governance experience, cultivate deeper resonance of ideas and shared values to broaden the scope of China-Africa relations and inject inexhaustible momentum for their development.

Secondly, continuously enrich the "spirit of China-Africa friendship and cooperation", blaze the right path for state-to-state relations, set an example for international cooperation with Africa to ensure that China and Africa continue to lead in building a new type of international relations and a community of shared future for mankind.

Thirdly, focus on the implementation of the ten partnership actions for modernization, identify priority directions and key projects, apply zero-tariff treatment for 100 percent tariff lines, build a comprehensive China-Africa connectivity network spanning land and sea, implement 1,000 "small and beautiful" livelihood projects, and improve the China-Africa investment and trade cooperation mechanism to provide Africa with a broader market, practical technology, and stable investment for its modernization.

Wang said that both China and the Republic of the Congo have formulated a "timetable" and "roadmap" for the development of the forum over the next three years.

This year, the focus will be on holding a ministerial-level meeting to coordinate and accelerate the implementation of the forum's outcomes to deliver more "early harvests". Next year, the two sides will jointly mark the 70th anniversary of China-Africa diplomatic relations and "the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges" through joint events. The 18th senior officials' meeting will accelerate the mid-term implementation of summit outcomes. In 2027, preparations for the 10th ministerial conference will serve as a driving force to ensure the comprehensive implementation and conclusion of summit outcomes.

The diplomat also said China will work with African countries to build the "Africa Solar Belt" program and help Africa truly embark on the path of green and low-carbon development.

When asked about how China and Africa jointly address climate change, Wang said that President Sassou's high attention to the issue of climate change reflects the foresight of African leaders, adding that China has always supported Africa in achieving green development as the installed capacity of photovoltaic power plants built jointly has exceeded 1.5 GW, lighting up thousands of homes across the continent.

Chinese President Xi has proposed that China and Africa should jointly advance modernization that is eco-friendly, which is the common goal of both sides and one of the key tasks of this visit, Wang said.

He said that China will implement the Partnership Action for Green Development, and work with African countries to carry out clean energy projects proposed at the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.

China will join hands with Africa to promote international climate governance, Wang said.

Noting that fair and common but differentiated responsibilities should be adhered to, Wang called on developed countries to face up to their historical responsibilities, earnestly fulfill their obligations, and provide financial, technical and capacity-building support to developing countries, especially African countries.
