Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on the 8th that China will continue to adhere to the concept of truth, affinity, sincerity and the correct concept of justice and interests, carry out practical cooperation with the African side in various fields, further enhance the well-being of the Chinese and African people, and inject new impetus into the construction of a community of shared future for China and Africa in a new era. The New Wami Bridge in Tanzania, built by a Chinese company, was successfully opened to traffic a few days ago. Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference that the completion of the New Wami Bridge project not only opens the "artery" of Tanzania's national development, but also is a new achievement of China and Tanzania in promoting traditional friendship and deepening mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation in the new era. Zhao Lijian said that as a national key strategic project in Tanzania, the New Wami Bridge is of great significance in promoting the coordinated development of various regions in Tanzania and boosting economic growth. Since the commencement of the bridge construction, it has provided more than 500 jobs and trained a number of skilled personnel in the field of infrastructure. The professional ability and hard work of Chinese builders have also won high recognition from all walks of life in Tanzania. "Poor infrastructure has always been the 'bottleneck' for African countries to achieve development. Since the establishment of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation, Chinese enterprises have built more than 10000 kilometers of railways, nearly 100000 kilometers of roads, nearly 1000 bridges, nearly 100 ports, and a large number of hospitals and schools in Africa." Zhao Lijian said. Zhao Lijian said that the Chinese side will continue to uphold the concept of truth, affinity, sincerity and the correct concept of justice and benefit, carry out practical cooperation with the African side in various fields, further enhance the well-being of the Chinese and African people, and inject new impetus into the construction of a China Africa community of shared future in the new era.
