The two leaders highlighted their commitment to modernization and praised the fruitful cooperation since May last year. Xi emphasized, \"Many of the consensuses we reached at that time have been implemented.\" This means that plans made are now seeing real results.
DRC President Tshisekedi echoed the positive vibes, calling the friendship between their countries \"strong and sincere.\" He added, \"Bilateral cooperation is based on equality, respect and a high degree of mutual trust, and has achieved mutual benefit and win-win results.\" 🤝✨
China assured continued support for the DRC in areas like agriculture, mineral processing, and vocational training, helping them safeguard national sovereignty and achieve independent development.
The upcoming FOCAC summit is set to be a major diplomatic event, bringing together leaders to discuss growth and development goals. It's the largest of its kind hosted by China in recent years, building on previous summits in Beijing and Johannesburg. Stay tuned for more updates on this global partnership! 🌐🚀
