Djibouti's Minister of Economy and Finance, Ilyas Moussa Dawaleh, has sent warm Lunar New Year greetings to China, praising the nation's global role and expressing hopes for deeper collaboration. 🌏✨ In a statement released this week, Dawaleh emphasized Djibouti's 'respect and appreciation' for China's development model and called 2026 a 'pivotal year' to expand economic and cultural partnerships.
The gesture comes as Djibouti—a key hub in China's Belt and Road Initiative—seeks to leverage its strategic Red Sea location. Analysts say this public diplomacy move signals growing African enthusiasm for Sino-African tech and infrastructure projects. 💡🚢
With Chinese New Year celebrations still fresh (Year of the Horse vibes! 🐎), the message resonates among young professionals tracking Asia-Africa trade corridors. Could this spark more cross-continental startup collabs? Stay tuned!
