China is stepping up its global diplomatic game! Vice Chairperson Wang Guangqian, a key figure from the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, will represent President Xi Jinping at Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ghazouani’s inauguration on August 1 in Nouakchott.
