This year marks the 30th anniversary of the resumption of diplomatic relations between China and Laos. King L é zier III of Lesotho recently stated in an interview with Xinhua News Agency in the capital city of Maseru that comprehensive cooperation between Lesotho and China is healthy and effective, and he hopes to maintain this mode of cooperation and push Lesotho China cooperation to new heights. "Over the past 30 years, the relationship between Lesotho and China, as well as between the people of Lesotho and the Chinese people, has been very healthy and fruitful. The characteristic of this relationship is mutual respect, and we have benefited a lot from it," said L é zier III in an interview at his official residence in the suburbs of Marcello. For example, for many years, China has been strongly supporting Lesotho in the field of infrastructure construction. With the help of China, Lesotho has built new roads, hospitals, and various buildings. Since 1983, China has completed a complete set of aid projects in Lesotho, including the National Convention Center, Parliament Building, Industrial Park, National Library and Archives, and the first phase of the Mafeiteng Photovoltaic Power Station project, as well as technical cooperation projects in vegetable cultivation, biogas technology guidance, and mushroom and grass cultivation. China has provided food aid to Lai multiple times. The Marcelo Regional Hospital, which was built with Chinese assistance, is expected to be completed and delivered in April this year. The hospital has 200 beds and 5 operating rooms, which can meet the daily medical needs of 2000 people. It will become one of the largest and most modern comprehensive hospitals in Lesotho. On March 11th, in the capital city of Maseru, Lesotho, King Lezier III of Lesotho was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency reporters. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Yudong and Regent Laiziye III highly praised China's "Support for African Industrialization Initiative", "China's Assistance to African Agricultural Modernization Plan", and "China Africa Talent Training Cooperation Plan". He hopes that more Chinese companies will invest in Lesotho, help develop the private sector in Lesotho, play its important role as an engine of economic development, and create more employment opportunities. "China can play a crucial role in this regard," he said. L é zier III attached great importance to the issue of food security in his country. He stated in an interview that Lesotho and China have established strong cooperation in agriculture and hope that China can help Lesotho improve agricultural productivity and produce more food. "We can expand agricultural cooperation projects with China, increase food production, and enhance nutritional security. The people of Lesotho will be very grateful." In terms of cultural exchange, Lezier III said that for the past 30 years, many Lesotho students have studied and trained in various educational institutions in China, and more and more Lesotho people have shown a strong interest in the ancient and rich Chinese culture. "I really hope this trend can continue. I also hope that through this good interaction, more and more Chinese people can understand our culture and history," said L é zier III. Lai Ziye III stated that "for the past 30 years, Lesotho has always supported the One China policy." In the future, Lesotho will continue to support China and hopes that China can play a more active role on the international stage, which is in the interest of everyone. "Looking ahead to the future, we hope that the relationship between the two countries will continue to strengthen, elevate the cooperation between Lai and China to new heights, and enable both peoples to benefit from it," he said.
