The African Union celebrated its 55th founding anniversary on Friday. China has played a crucial role in the bloc's development, and has been a key partner for the continent. As a major member of the African Union, Rwanda is one of the countries that have benefited from China's help.
The Rwandan Ambassador to China Lt.Gen Charles Kayonga told CGTN he expected the two nations to remain friendly.
"The period of 2018-2024 is of great significance to both China and Africa. While commemorating Africa Day, we need to further deepen cooperation and unify the vision and goals of both countries," said Kayonga.
China has maintained close political relations with African nations for more than half a century. This has resulted in the rapid development of economic and trade relations, and better coordination in international affairs, Cao Jianming, vice chairman of the Chinese National People's Congress Standing Committee, noted as he expressed appreciation for Africa's international contributions.
"Despite some prominent external risks and uncertainties, Africa today is pressing ahead with great drive and vibrancy. No matter how the international landscape changes, Africa always speaks with one voice on major regional and international issues and is making greater contributions to growing the collective strength and safeguarding the common interests of developing countries," said Cao.
Cao noted that China and Africa have the same goals, and both sides want to promote peace and development.
"Africa will always have a good friend in China," said Cao.
