国内英语资讯:China, S. Africa pledge deepened cooperation within BRICS, FOCAC

Xi called on the two sides to maintain close collaboration in international affairs and make concerted efforts to push forward the stable development of BRICS cooperation, so as to make greater contribution to world peace, stability and prosperity.

China supports South Africa in playing a bigger role in international and regional affairs, he noted.

Xi said China is firm in supporting African nations' pursuit of development paths that suit their own national conditions and free themselves of external interference and control.

China is willing to work with African nations including South Africa to earnestly implement the consensus reached during the Johannesburg Summit of the FOCAC held last December, in a bid to promote win-win cooperation and common development, he added.

The five BRICS leaders just met last month in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou when China hosted the 11th summit of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies.

Zuma said South Africa highly appreciates the achievements of the Hangzhou Summit, especially the great attention paid to the development issues as well as the cooperation between the G20 and developing countries.

South Africa is committed to deepening its relations with China, he said, voicing appreciation for China's support to South Africa in such areas as infrastructure construction and personnel training.

He said South Africa is ready to strengthen cooperation with China and Africa-China cooperation within the framework of the outcomes of the Johannesburg Summit.
