Each trip is aimed at addressing key challenges facing Africa, from poverty alleviation and infrastructure deficit to sustainable growth, an expert said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;China has been advancing the concept of win-win cooperation and they truly believe that as they engage and connect with Africa, they are able to grow as a country but they are also able to have Africa make progress in various ways,&#8221; said Raphael Obonyo, an African youth and public policy analyst.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the visits have enhanced diplomatic ties and overseen the establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s trip is expected to encompass discussions on major economic partnerships in the four African countries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The four countries that the minister is going to visit and Africa as a whole is looking forward to enhanced cooperation in various areas, whether we are talking about infrastructure, where China has done fantastic work in various African countries, you know,&#8221; Obonyo said.<\/p>\n<p>The visit will also facilitate people-to-people exchanges beyond economic interests, and analysts are optimistic that both China and Africa will continue to pursue their common objectives in peace, stability, and development.<\/p>\n<p>Namibia, the Republic of the Congo, Chad and Nigeria are all friendly cooperation partners of China. Mao Ning, spokeswoman of the Chinese foreign ministry, said that Wang&#8217;s visit aims to promote implementation of the outcomes of the Beijing Summit of FOCAC, deepen practical cooperation in various fields, and promote sustained and in-depth development of China-Africa relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mauritius<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
