Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong said on Friday that now is “the right time” to deepen cooperation between China and Africa, ahead of an upcoming China-Africa summit in Beijing next month.<\/b><\/p>\n

Chen told a press conference on Friday that China and Africa should use the meeting to sound a \u201cstrong voice\u201d for the Global South in the reform of global governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, a once-in-a-century change is accelerating and the world has entered a period of turbulence and transformation,\u201d said Chen.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina and African countries are both important members of the Global South, and Africa is experiencing a new awakening by actively promoting the process of unity, self-improvement, and integration,” he added.<\/p>\n

Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the opening of the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) on September 5th, China\u2019s foreign ministry announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Xi will deliver a keynote speech in which he will announce a new package of aid to Africa, said Chen.<\/p>\n

Representatives of 53 African countries that are members of the FOCAC will take part in the three-day summit – the fourth to be held since 2006.<\/p>\n

As a key player in Africa, China is Africa\u2019s largest trading partner and a significant source of investment.<\/p>\n

The continent is also a significant part of Xi’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).<\/p>\n
