Botswana and China: 50 years of friendship, a future of possibilities

In a landmark visit to China, Botswana's Minister of International Relations　Phenyo Butale celebrated five decades of growing ties between Botswana and China — a journey marked by trust, development, and mutual respect.

From booming trade to tech cooperation, and from education to infrastructure, Butale hailed China as a key development partner and looked ahead with confidence to an even stronger strategic partnership.

As both countries embrace digitalization, AI, and multilateral cooperation, this golden jubilee marks not just a milestone, but a springboard toward shared prosperity in the next 50 years, he said.
