China to strengthen links with Djibouti

China and Djibouti pledged on Wednesday to step up implementation of the outcomes of the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in order to push forward the development of their bilateral strategic partnership.

In a meeting with Djibouti's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Mahamoud Ali Youssouf in Beijing on Wednesday, Vice-President Wang Qishan said both nations should enhance cooperation under the guidance of the consensus reached between the two heads of state during the summit in September.

Calling the African country a good friend and good brother, Wang said China stands ready to strengthen exchanges with Djibouti in state governance.
