china daily network, september 9 (reporter pan yiqiao and yang ran) the high-level meeting of the beijing summit of the forum on china-africa cooperation on high-quality co-construction of the "belt and road" was recently held at the national convention center. how can the "belt and road" be connected with the development strategies of african countries to jointly achieve china-africa modernization? let's listen to the answers of the gambian ministers.
gambia's minister of finance and economic affairs keita said that gambia has always been a beneficiary of the "belt and road" initiative. regarding the "ten partner actions" just announced by the chinese leader, gambia expects that the two countries' cooperation in the field of infrastructure will be further expanded in the future, and will firmly support the "belt and road" initiative.
maud k. cisse, secretary general of the gambian presidential palace, said that the belt and road initiative has brought china and africa closer together in terms of infrastructure connectivity. as far as gambia is concerned, it has benefited from this initiative. the bridge projects built by china in gambia have formed a transportation network that connects various parts of gambia. the journey that previously took several hours or even days can now be shortened to dozens of minutes.
gambian foreign minister mamadou tangara said that china has shown a lot of sincerity in cooperating with african countries, ensuring that the actual conditions of african countries are taken into consideration before proposing solutions, truly helping african countries resolve the contradictions in development.
realizing modernization is the common pursuit of china and african countries. as the gambian foreign minister said, china has always firmly supported africa in exploring its own development path, and africa is also an important participant in the joint construction of the "belt and road" initiative. from the "ten cooperation plans" between china and africa to the "eight actions" and "nine projects", and then to the "ten partner actions" just announced by china, it is believed that the friendly relations between china and africa will continue to deepen, and the "all-weather" friendship between china and africa will become more solid.
