BEIJING (CHINA DAILY/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) – The keynote speech President Xi Jinping delivered at the special China-Africa summit on fighting together against the Covid-19 on Wednesday (June 17) shows China’s willingness to further step up its assistance to help the continent better combat the virus.
Jointly proposed by China and South Africa, which is chair of the African Union this year, and Senegal, which is this year’s chair of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, the summit was held at a critical moment in the global fight against the novel coronavirus through videoconferencing.
The summit demonstrated the shared resolve of China and African countries to deepen their cooperation in the fight against the virus, and served as a practical platform for them to better know each other’s needs, helping them to roll out to-do lists and ways to realise the tasks.
