Hey there! 🌍 Guess what? China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi just had a super important meeting with Zambia's Foreign Minister Mulambo Haimbe in Beijing! 🤝 These two countries have been besties since 1964, and their friendship is only getting stronger.
You might have heard of the TAZARA Railway—a legendary train line built back in the 1970s that connects Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia. 🚂 This epic project was a team effort between China, Tanzania, and Zambia, and it's a symbol of their unbreakable bond. Wang Yi and Haimbe chatted about breathing new life into this iconic railway, making it a bridge of friendship and boosting development along the way.
Wang Yi praised the mutual support between China and Zambia, highlighting how they've always had each other's backs. He said China is ready to deepen their cooperation, especially in helping Zambia turn its natural resources into real development power. 💪🌱
But that's not all! Both ministers are excited about the upcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation summit happening in Beijing this September. They want to make it a huge success and take the China-Africa community to the next level. 🎉
Haimbe expressed how much Zambia values its friendship with China. He mentioned that Zambia will always remember the sacrifices made by the Chinese people during the construction of the TAZARA Railway. Respect! 🙏 He also welcomed more Chinese companies to invest in Zambia, especially in agriculture, energy, and mining.
This meeting wasn't just about talk; it was about action! Both sides agreed to strengthen communication on international and regional affairs. Sounds like these two nations are on track for an even brighter future together! 🚀
