Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Embassy of the People\u2019s Republic of China in The Gambia on Tuesday hosted a diplomatic reception at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Center in Bijilo to mark the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People\u2019s Republic of China.<\/b><\/p>\n

Founded in 1949 following years of internal struggle and foreign aggression, the People\u2019s Republic of China embarked on a new era under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, prioritizing national unity, modernization, and the building of a strong, independent state.<\/p>\n

In his keynote address, Chinese Ambassador to The Gambia, Liu Jin, reflected on China\u2019s remarkable transformation, particularly during the last four decades of reform and opening up. He noted that nearly 800 million people have been lifted out of poverty, while China has established the world\u2019s largest education, healthcare, and social security systems\u2014vastly improving the well-being of its citizens.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Liu emphasized that China\u2019s success not only represents national progress but also contributes to global peace and economic growth. He highlighted that China\u2019s economy has maintained steady expansion, accounting for about 30 percent of global growth in recent years.<\/p>\n

Citing advancements in fields such as 5G and artificial intelligence, the envoy underscored China\u2019s role as one of the world\u2019s leading trading nations and its efforts to share innovation, foster international cooperation, and promote sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina has been committed to green development and has contributed half of the world\u2019s newly installed capacity of renewable energy and a quarter of the new greening area. China has also advanced high-quality Belt and Road cooperation with over 150 countries. China has the confidence and capability to keep its economy on an upward trajectory and continue to provide important support for global economic growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Turning to China\u2013Africa relations, Ambassador Liu described the partnership as the \u201cbackbone of the Global South,\u201d noting that together, China and Africa represent a population of 2.8 billion people. He stressed the importance of solidarity and collaboration in shaping a fairer global order.<\/p>\n

On bilateral relations, Ambassador Liu reaffirmed China\u2019s commitment to strengthening ties with The Gambia, announcing that the Chinese Embassy in Banjul will begin offering consular visa services on October 7. He also revealed that 2026 will be designated the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges, with the Embassy pledging to promote further cultural and social linkages.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext year is the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges. Our embassy will try its best to continue to promote people-to-people exchanges. With this background, I am very pleased to announce that the Chinese Embassy in The Gambia will officially launch consular visa services on October 7,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Representing the Government of The Gambia, Interior Minister Abdoulie Sanyang commended China\u2019s remarkable achievements in economic and social development. He reaffirmed The Gambia\u2019s adherence to the One-China Principle and expressed Banjul\u2019s readiness to deepen practical cooperation with Beijing across multiple sectors.<\/p>\n
