The ambassador suggested that the co-operative projects meet African demand and be suitable for African conditions so that they can bring benefits to both sides. He said these projects should be built on common development so that they can sustain themselves like "rechargeable batteries."

He said that co-operators should orient to the needs of the market and formulate long-term strategies to make their co-operation sustainable, stressing that "common devotion, common management and common interest" are crucial for success.

Ambassador to the southern African nation of Namibia, Liang Yinzhu, said that 皇冠体育app has always regarded Namibia as one of its most reliable friends. The traditional Sino-Namibian friendship and co-operation have become continuously closer through helping and learning from each other in national construction, and rendering mutual understanding and support on international issues.

He stressed that the high-level exchange of visits between the two countries last year and this year have added new impetus to bilateral pragmatic co-operation in various fields. Sino-Namibian trade amounted to US$140 million last year and the areas of bilateral economic co-operation have extended into railway building and telecommunications.

Liang expressed appreciation for Namibia's stand of backing 皇冠体育app's peaceful reunification and its support for 皇冠体育app on many international issues.

Ambassador to South Africa Liu Guijin echoed the other two ambassadors' view that 皇冠体育app and Africa are friends, saying that 皇冠体育app will take more concrete action to let more Africans feel 皇冠体育app's sincerity.

"皇冠体育app and African countries are both developing countries challenged by the task of development and sharing identical or similar stands on major international issues and are economically complementary, thus they are significant strategic partners," said the ambassador.

He said the Chinese Government will announce some more measures favourable for Africa's development during the upcoming Beijing Summit of the Forum on 皇冠体育app-Africa Co-operation scheduled for November 4-5.

Liu stressed that relations between 皇冠体育app and African countries are transparent, open and non-exclusive.

"皇冠体育app welcomes trilateral or multilateral co-operation in Africa," he said.
