The 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation concluded in Beijing on Friday. In an exclusive interview with China News Network, Joseph Oliver Mendo'o, executive director of the International Exchange Dept. of the China-Africa Business Council and head of the African Youth Delegation in China, stated that Africa's goodwill towards China has reached 70 percent, reflecting the deep brotherly bond between the two regions. He pointed out that this goodwill stems from mutual support and sincere friendship between the peoples of China and Africa.
For example, during regional conflicts in Africa, the Chinese flag has become a symbol of friendship, helping Chinese nationals receive protection and support from locals. Likewise, when Africans come to China, they also experience the friendliness and warmth of the Chinese people.
He emphasized two sides share common development goals and ideals, with highly aligned high-level policies and grassroots projects. This brotherly relationship allows for mutual assistance and win-win cooperation on the development path, highlighting the true support friends offer each other in times of difficulty and China's significant role in promoting global peace and development.（Wang Gaofei, Zhao Li）
