02:42Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mao Ning expressed Beijing's commitment to 'real results' ahead of the upcoming 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), during a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
"In conducting co-operation with Africa, China is committed to the principle of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith and the right approach to friendship and interests," she said.
"China and Africa have been actively implementing the outcomes of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC)," Mao added. "Those efforts contribute significantly to the common development of China and African countries and deliver tangible benefits to the two peoples. This has laid a solid foundation for the building of a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future."
The Ninth Forum on China-Africa Cooperation is schedule to be held in Beijing from September 4-6 and aims to strengthen trade and cultural exchange between China and the African continent.
The Forum comes after Indonesia hosted the 2nd Indonesia-Africa Forum (IAF) in Bali on September 1-3.
"China and Indonesia are both major developing countries and important members of the Global South. China stands ready to enhance co-operation with Indonesia to jointly support African countries and other Global South partners in achieving development and prosperity," Mao noted.
Eswatini is expected to be the only absent African country in this year's summit. The state had been excluded from previous editions of the summit over its diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
"African countries widely support the one-China principle and view their co-operation with China as helpful for Africa's economic prosperity and sustainable development," Mao commented
"Developing official relations with the Taiwan region is not in Eswatini's interest. We believe Eswatini will eventually see the prevailing trend in the world and make the right decision accordingly," she continued.
Beijing views Taiwan as part of its territory under the 'One China' principle, while the island has never officially declared independence.
