Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on the 13th that supporting Africa's development is the common responsibility of the international community. China is pleased to see all parties in the international community pay more attention to Africa, but firmly opposes using Africa as an arena for the game of great powers. At the regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked: It was reported that a report released by the South African Institute for Global Dialogue pointed out that successive US governments had never taken practical measures to help Africa cope with development challenges, but only tried to cultivate African countries as tools to curb China and Russia's influence in Africa and the world. Compared with the hegemonic diplomacy of the United States, China's position of non-interference in internal affairs and mutual benefit and win-win results has been warmly welcomed by African countries. What is the speaker's comment on this? "I have taken note of the relevant report, which is a report on US Africa relations from an African perspective issued by well-known African academic institutions." Wang Wenbin said. Wang Wenbin said that he also noted that the report pointed out that the US government's African policy has always served its own interests, and the core appeal is to let African countries choose sides in international security, international pattern, and big country competition. The chief writer of the report and the head of the South African Institute for Global Dialogue said at the press conference that Africa insisted on an independent foreign policy, opposed the threat of bullying, refused to choose sides and stood in line, and the US side's suppression diplomacy against Africa would not succeed. Wang Wenbin said that it is the common responsibility of the international community to support Africa's development. China has always adhered to the concept of truth, affinity and sincerity and the correct concept of justice and benefit in developing relations with Africa, and insisted on being a partner of African countries with mutual respect, equal treatment and sincere cooperation. With the upcoming US Africa Summit, we are pleased to see all parties in the international community pay more attention to Africa, but we firmly oppose using Africa as a arena for great powers to play games and using the strategy for Africa as a tool to contain and attack other countries' cooperation with Africa. "In this regard, the African people have their own judgment. African countries also have the wisdom and ability to choose partners that meet their own interests." He said. Wang Wenbin expressed the hope that the international community would focus on the real needs of African countries, take action and make real efforts to promote economic and social development and improve people's livelihood in Africa.
