During the talks, the two heads of state announced that the strategic partnership of win-win cooperation between the two countries would be upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation. Several international experts stated in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the meeting between the heads of state of China and Congo has jointly charted a new blueprint for the development of bilateral relations, which not only injects strong momentum into the development of bilateral relations, but also has significant significance in promoting China Africa cooperation and building a new era of China Africa community with a shared future. The talks have made top-level plans and clarified strategic directions for the development of China Congo relations in the next stage, reflecting a high degree of political mutual trust between the two countries and a strong willingness to further strengthen unity and cooperation and achieve common development, "said Liu Jisen, Dean of the African Studies Institute at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. Li Xinfeng, Executive Director of the Chinese Academy of African Studies and Director of the Institute of West Asia and Africa at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that China and Congo share a wide range of common languages and interests, and are a close community of interests and shared destiny. It is natural to enhance bilateral relations. Congo (DRC) is an important country in Africa. In recent years, China and Congo have achieved fruitful cooperation in various fields, and China has become the largest trading partner and source of foreign investment for DRC for many consecutive years. In January 2021, China and the Democratic Republic of the Congo signed a memorandum of understanding on jointly promoting the construction of the "the Belt and Road", and the Democratic Republic of the Congo became Africa's 45th "the Belt and Road" partner. In the joint statement on the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Congo released on the 26th, both sides agreed to expand cooperation to various fields that are in line with their interests, including education, scientific research, health, infrastructure construction, mining, agriculture, digital technology, environment, sustainable development, and hydrocarbon fuels. The traditional friendship between China and Congo is profound, with strong economic complementarity, and broad prospects for cooperation between the two sides. The Congo side also expressed its willingness to strengthen cooperation with China on the implementation of the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative at the bilateral and multilateral levels. Under the current international situation, China and Africa need to strengthen unity and cooperation more than ever before. Prior to President Chisekhdi, Gabonese President Bongo and Eritrean President Isaias paid state visits to China. Since the beginning of this year, more than ten African officials at or above the ministerial level have visited China. The China Africa Conference on Poverty Reduction and Development, the China Africa Youth Festival, and other events have been held successively, and the spirit of "China Africa Friendship and Cooperation" has been continuously passed down on the vast land of China and Africa. Experts point out that China Africa friendship has a long history. Similar historical experiences and shared historical missions have closely linked China and Africa. The active interaction between China and Africa sends a strong signal to the international community of mutual support and shared destiny. China firmly supports Canada in pursuing a development path that is in line with its national conditions
