During an interview with Chinese media, Wang noted that the strategic dialogue between the two sides, held at the African Union headquarters, aims to coordinate positions and jointly address current global challenges.
The top diplomat underscored that the launch of the China-Africa Year of Cultural Exchanges reflects a consensus reached between President Xi Jinping and African leaders in the context of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
The minister indicated that the program includes nearly 600 activities in areas such as youth, culture, and media, aimed at expanding mutual understanding and the social benefits of cooperation.
He highlighted that this was the 36th consecutive visit by a Chinese foreign minister to Africa at the start of the year, reflecting the strategic priority Beijing attaches to the continent.
Wang noted that China will continue to support the continent in the face of external pressures and reiterated its commitment to providing zero tariffs to African countries for their exports to the Chinese market.
