As you know, President Muhammad
Buhari is back to Abuja, Nigeria after
attending the China-Africa Cooperation
forum in Johannesburg, South Africa,
from December 4-5, 2015.
This are some highlights of the
major talking points of the event:
China has graciously pledged $60
billion in development assistance to
Africa, promising to support and
help African nations to industrialize
and elevate its relationship with the
continent beyond the one centered
relationship of only extraction of raw
materials for China’s use .
No doubt every member of
Naijaloaded as come across or used a
made in Chinese item. Now this deal
is expected to see more gains from a
country that has benefited greatly
from the relationship between Africa
and China.
The President of China, Xi Jinping,
expressed full confidence in the deal,
stating:
“China has the strong political
commitment to supporting Africa in
achieving development and
prosperity.”
“China now has the technology,
equipment, professional and skilled
personnel and capital needed to help
Africa realize sustainable self-
development.”
President Xi Jinping was joined in
Johannesburg by many leaders
across Africa, over 40 heads of state,
including our President Muhammad
Buhari .
President Xi Jinping stressed the
importance of a ”WIN-WIN”
resolution in the deal, stating that:
“China strongly believes that Africa
belongs to the African people and
that African affairs should be decided
by the African people,”
Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe ,
who isn’t shy to express his views,
was very delighted with President Xi
Jinping ideology, stating:
“He is doing to us what we expected
those who colonized us yesterday to
do,” Mr. Mugabe said to loud
applause.
