African officials on Tuesday called for closer collaboration with China to develop mutually beneficial outcomes.
The BRICS countries cover a large area and represent a key component of economic globalization. The five members can work together, build mutual trust and discuss economic cooperation. I hope my company can have an opportunity to be part of the large picture of BRICS cooperation. China is a good friend of South Africa. It has invested a lot of money in Africa and has very good relationships with African countries. China has improved the livelihood of African countries, both socially and economically. I look forward to building partnerships with Chinese companies.
