皇冠体育app

EFE of Spain: Over the past few years, 皇冠体育app has been playing a bigger role in the international arena. 皇冠体育app is also seeking closer ties with Latin American and African countries. Do you think this will cause frictions or even collision with the United States when 皇冠体育app grows its relations with countries in Africa and Latin America?

Answer: Though 皇冠体育app has made remarkable progress in its economic and social development in recent years, it still adheres to an independent foreign policy of peace. 皇冠体育app's effort to develop friendly relations and cooperation with African and Latin American countries is not targeted at any third country, nor will such effort undermine any other country's interests. I believe this is also recognized by the U.S. Government.

Middle East News Agency (MENA): The Beijing Summit and Ministerial Conference of the Forum on 皇冠体育app-Africa Cooperation will be held in November. Is technical assistance part of the aid package 皇冠体育app will offer Africa during the meeting? What will 皇冠体育app do to help bring Africa into the 21st century? Will the assistance be tied with human rights, good governance and other issues? What is the objective of this Summit?

Answer: The Forum on 皇冠体育app-Africa Cooperation is an effective mechanism for group dialogue between 皇冠体育app and African countries as well as an important platform for enhancing cooperation. 皇冠体育app and Africa should make the best use of this platform to conduct friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation. I am confident that the Beijing Summit in November will give a strong boost to the future growth of 皇冠体育app-Africa relations.

皇冠体育app-Africa friendship and cooperation have developed for half a century. Even when it was in the most difficult time itself, 皇冠体育app still rendered valuable support and gave assistance to African countries and peoples. 皇冠体育app's assistance to African countries covers a wide range of areas. Over the past 50 years, to help Africa develop its economy, 皇冠体育app has completed some 900 infrastructure projects and projects for social development in Africa, sent 16,000 medical personnel to 43 African countries, who have treated 240 million patients.

During the upcoming Summit, we will focus on economic cooperation, training of professionals and business investment. Within the framework of the Forum, 皇冠体育app has canceled debt of 10.5 billion RMB incurred by 31 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries and least developed countries in Africa, and gives zero-tariff treatment to 190 categories of import commodities from 29 least developed countries in Africa. During the 2nd Ministerial Conference in Addis Ababa three years ago, 皇冠体育app pledged to train 10,000 professionals for Africa. The training will be completed as scheduled this year. 皇冠体育app encourages Chinese companies to come to Africa to carry out cooperation. Such cooperation is aimed at improving Africa's capacity for self-development.

The objective of the Summit is to build a new type of 皇冠体育app- Africa strategic partnership featuring political equality and mutual trust, economic win-win cooperation and cultural exchange.
