What they say

We call on Chinese private enterprises to closely follow the steps of win-win cooperation between China and Africa and to go to Africa for investment and develop the rich resources in Central Africa. We also look forward to China helping Africa to establish a sustainable and inclusive economic development model and helping us overcome poverty and improve the living standards of people of different countries.

Idriss Deby, president of Chad

We have greatly benefited from Chinese investment to improve the movement of goods, and the Belt and Road Initiative is the key to furthering our growth. We are delighted we continue to benefit from its advantage. I also want to thank the Chinese people for believing our development goals can be achieved.
