Prime minister Sam Matekane will take part at the FOCAC China–Africa Summit along with other African leaders from September 4-6 in Beijing, China.
The conference will be held under the theme “Joining Hands to Advance Modernisation and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future”. It seeks to celebrate friendship and chart the way forward for cooperation.
This marks another grand reunion of the China-Africa big family following the 2006 Beijing Summit, the 2015 Johannesburg Summit, and the 2018 Beijing Summit of the FOCAC.
The Summit is also the largest diplomatic event China has hosted in recent years, with the highest attendance of foreign leaders.
The Summit will also host four high-level meetings on state governance, industrialisation and agricultural modernisation, peace and security, high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, as well as the eighth Conference of Chinese and African Entrepreneurs and other related activities.
