Security and finance headline China’s pledges to Africa at FOCAC Summit #NewsUnitedStates

Besides bankrolling the building of green energy, “small but beautiful” livelihood-improving and big connectivity projects, Xi also pledged to deepen military and economic cooperation by training thousands of military personnel, providing food relief and sharing its governance experience with Africa.

“Modernisation is an inalienable right of all countries, but the Western approach to it has inflicted immense sufferings on developing countries … We should jointly advance modernisation that is just and equitable,” Xi told the attendees at the ninth Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Summit.

“We always empathise with and support each other, setting a stellar example of a new type of international relations.”
