"Tanzania and China are all-weather friends, and the relationship between our two countries is getting better and deeper," said liberata mulamulamula, Minister of foreign affairs and East African Cooperation of Tanzania, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters in Dar es Salaam a few days ago.
The eighth ministerial meeting of the Forum on China Africa cooperation will be held in Dakar, Senegal, at the end of this month. Mulamula said that Tanzania has participated in all previous ministerial meetings and summits of the Forum on China Africa cooperation. She has also participated in the forum meetings and witnessed how Africa China relations have been upgraded from a new type of partnership to a new type of strategic partnership and then to a comprehensive strategic partnership. Tanzania China cooperation initially focused on limited areas and now covers a wide range of areas.
Mulamula believes that Tanzania and China are all-weather friends. She said that after independence, Tanzania was committed to developing the national economy and supporting the national liberation movement of countries in the region. The Tanzania Zambia Railway built with China's assistance gave landlocked Zambia a new access to the sea. At present, the friendship and cooperation between Tanzania and China are reflected in more fields, such as investment, infrastructure construction, industrialization, etc. After the establishment of the new Tanzanian government, bilateral relations have been further deepened. Tanzania is ready to welcome more new opportunities for strategic cooperation and achieve mutually beneficial development.
Mulamula spoke positively of China's "global development initiative". She said that when the global development initiative was put forward, the COVID-19 pandemic reminded people that the world was a community and could not let any country lag behind. In front of COVID-19, the country, big or small, is affected. At present, the international community needs to integrate resources and work together to explore an inclusive development path.
Mulamula also said that 50 years ago, the 26th UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority, decided to restore all the rights of the people's Republic of China in the United Nations, and recognized the representatives of the government of the people's Republic of China as the only legitimate representatives of China in the United Nations. Over the past 50 years, the group of 77 and China, composed of developing countries, have worked together to promote the important agenda of peace, security and sustainable development, and made positive progress in poverty reduction, education, gender equality and multilateral cooperation.
Referring to the future cooperation between Africa and China, mulamula said that the African continental Free Trade Area officially launched this year provides broad prospects for future cooperation between Africa and China, and African industrialization is expected to develop. Africa's industrialization process involves many fields such as energy, infrastructure, financing and education. African countries hope to have more cooperation with China. 21 years after the establishment of the Forum on China Africa cooperation, Africa China relations based on mutual benefit and win-win results have become closer and closer, and greater progress will be made in the future.
