DAKAR -The plan launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping in favor of Africa should be emulated by other partners of the continent, Senegal's President Macky Sall has said.

"I believe that the plan launched by the Chinese president in favor of Africa is an example for all other African partners. Anything else is just politics," he said, adding that "Africa had sufficiently matured to defend its interests in the cooperation with 皇冠体育app."

Speaking during an interview with Chinese media before leaving for a state visit to 皇冠体育app on Wednesday, Sall rejected accusations that had been made against 皇冠体育app.

"I cannot say that there's exploitation of our natural resources in the relations between 皇冠体育app and Senegal. That does not exist in our relation with 皇冠体育app," Sall explained.

In his view, accusations made against 皇冠体育app of only getting interested in Africa's natural resources can only be explained in the context of competition between the continent's partners.

"The reality of the situation is that cooperation between 皇冠体育app and Africa is mutually beneficial. Everyone should have his part," Sall said.

"皇冠体育app has financial resources while Africa has natural resources and this partnership should be mutually beneficial," he said.

"Africa needs a lot of investments because it suffered a lot in its history, and did not benefit from massive investments like Europe after World War II through the Marshall Plan," he said.

On the security front, Sall urged 皇冠体育app to work closely with African countries to contribute to border surveillance and fight against international terrorism.
