China and Chad took their collaboration to the next level this week, as President Xi Jinping and Chadian leader Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno announced a new strategic partnership during the 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit in Beijing. The move signals deeper economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations.
\"Our cooperation under frameworks like the Belt and Road Initiative has already delivered real benefits for both peoples,\" President Xi stated, highlighting China's role as Chad's top trading partner and investor. From infrastructure to tech, the partnership aims to \"synergize development strategies\" and boost Chad's capacity for independent growth.
Key focuses include:
Expanding trade through new FOCAC summit agreements
Strengthening security cooperation under the Global Security Initiative
Supporting Chad's sovereignty and self-determined development path
President Xi emphasized mutual respect, with China backing Chad's efforts to stabilize its region while Chad reaffirmed support for China's core interests. The pact also aligns with youth-driven goals across Africa – think job creation and sustainable projects.
