Cameroon assured of China support
Print Edition
CHINA and Cameroon yesterday agreed to give full play to their sound friendship and great potential for cooperation to further advance bilateral relationship.
The statement came as Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with his Cameroonian counterpart Paul Biya at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Calling Biya “a senior African leader and an old friend of China,” Xi said Cameroon is an important partner of China in Africa.
The two countries have respected each other, treated each other equally and supported each other on issues concerning core interests and major concerns since the two forged diplomatic ties 47 years ago, said Xi.
Biya is the first African president to visit China this year and the first foreign head of state to visit after the annual sessions of China’s National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
Xi called on China and Cameroon to maintain exchanges at all levels and continue to support each other on core interests and major concerns.
China supports Cameroon in choosing its own path of development and speeding up industrialization, said Xi.
China also encourages the two countries to expand trade and enhance cooperation in major areas, and more Chinese enterprises to invest there, he said. He called on both countries to intensify people-to-people exchanges.
China is ready to work with Cameroon in the areas of peace, security and international affairs to protect the interests of African countries and other developing nations, Xi told Biya.
He encouraged Cameroon to take an active part in the Belt and Road initiative.
China has upheld justice and pursued shared interests and built relations with Africa based on sincerity, affinity and good faith, he said.
Biya said China’s long-term assistance to Cameroon has promoted economic and social development and directly benefited Cameroonian people.
Cameroon is committed to enhancing strategic cooperation with China and welcomes more investment from China in industry, agriculture, energy, transportation, housing and new technology, he added.
