China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged the world to heed “what Africa has to say” and to take the continent’s concerns “seriously,” as stated in an official release from Beijing on Friday.
Addressing the Group of 20 (G20) foreign ministers in Johannesburg on Thursday, Wang emphasized the need to “listen to what Africa has to say, take Africa’s concerns seriously, support Africa’s actions, and work for peace and development in Africa, to leave a distinct African mark on the Johannesburg Summit.”
South Africa, which has held the G20 presidency since December and will continue until November, hosted the two-day meeting—the first G20 foreign ministers’ summit to take place in an African city. South Africa remains the only African country in the bloc, which also includes the European Union nations.
Highlighting the significance of 2024 for the continent, Wang described it as an “‘African moment,’” reaffirming Beijing’s “firm” commitment to supporting African nations in “independently resolving African problems.”
Additionally, he stressed that Beijing “opposes” foreign interference in the internal matters of African countries.
