China and Africa have always been good friends, partners and brothers sharing weal and woe. The relationship between China and the African Union has withstood the test of changing international circumstances, and the depth and breadth of cooperation have been continuously expanded. It has played an important leading role in inheriting the traditional friendship between China and Africa and strengthening unity and cooperation in the new era. I attach great importance to the development of China African Union relations. I am willing to work with President Salle and other heads of state of the African Union Member States to take the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the African Union as a new starting point, carry forward the spirit of China Africa friendship and cooperation, fully implement the outcomes of the eighth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China Africa cooperation, firmly support each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns, and constantly enhance the representation and voice of developing countries in international affairs, And make new contributions to building a China Africa community with a shared future in the new era. I highly appreciate the traditional friendship, solidarity and cooperation between Africa and China and the dynamic partnership under the framework of the Forum on China Africa cooperation. I would like to reiterate to you that Africa firmly supports the one China principle and the African continent's joint efforts with friendly China to build a China Africa community with a shared future in the new era.
