? Thank you to President Xi Jinping, the Chinese government, and the Chinese people for inviting us to participate in the 'Ten Major Partnership Action', "Zambian President Hakkende Hicklema said in a joint interview with Chinese media in Beijing recently. Hitchlema attended the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation held from September 4 to 6. In a joint interview with Chinese media before leaving China, he said that President Xi Jinping's "Ten Partnership Actions" proposed at the summit focus on areas such as economic development, investment and trade, education, culture, food and energy security, fully demonstrating how Africa and China can move forward hand in hand on the path of development. Hickma said that Africa can provide key assistance for the global green transformation. Turning to green economy and green energy will make world development safer and more sustainable, benefiting future generations. In this process, the African continent and China will create more job opportunities, and their benefits will extend beyond Africa and China. Hickma said that for many years, the development of the "global South" has generally lagged behind. But now the situation has changed. The 'Global South' can do more within its own scope He pointed out that some countries in the 'global South' possess advanced technology and are willing to share it; The countries of the 'Global South' have abundant natural resources. Now, what we need to do is to make more effective use of the resources we have, "said Hickma, who has visited China several times. He shared his feelings during his previous visit to Pudong New Area in Shanghai, China, lamenting that "China's development is too fast", especially when he visited again after leaving for a period of time, this feeling was even stronger. When it comes to the relationship between Zambia and China, Xi Jinping said, "Over the years, we have done many mutually beneficial things together for the people of Zambia and China." On the morning of September 4th, President Xi Jinping, along with Tanzanian President Hassan and Zambian President Xi Jinping, witnessed the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Tanzania Zambia Railway Activation Project. In the 1970s, tens of thousands of Chinese experts and technicians traveled across the ocean to Africa, fighting alongside the people of Tanzania and Zambia. With sweat, blood, and even lives, they built the Tanzania Zambia Railway, known as the "Road of Friendship" and "Road of Freedom". The total length of the Tanzania Zambia Railway is 1860.5 kilometers. It started construction in October 1970 and was officially handed over to the governments of Tanzania and Zambia in July 1976. Xichilaima stated that the Tanzania Zambia Railway is a valuable asset, and signing the Memorandum of Understanding for the Tanzania Zambia Railway Activation Project is a very, very important task and a milestone. Signing a memorandum of understanding will open the door to Africa in logistics, trade, and market access. Our product and service manufacturers can enter different markets. This is not only beneficial for Tanzania, Zambia, and China, but also for the region and the world as a whole Hickma said. Hicklema said that although Zambia is a landlocked country, it is adjacent to multiple countries and has strategic potential to become a logistics hub. He welcomes more Chinese investors to turn their attention to Zambia. (New Society)
