President hails strong ties with Eritrea

China is willing to conduct exchanges with Eritrea on experiences in state governance, and support each other in jointly opposing unilateralism and hegemonic acts in order to uphold the common interests of both nations and those of developing countries, he said.

He called on both nations to jointly utilize frameworks and platforms such as the joint building of the Belt and Road, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the Outlook on Peace and Development in the Horn of Africa, in advancing win-win cooperation.

Xi expressed appreciation for Eritrea's support of China's efforts to evacuate its citizens from Sudan, which he said spoke volumes for the strong bond of friendship between the two nations.

The two nations should adopt more measures to strengthen people-to-people exchanges, he added.
