In his diplomatic career lasting more than 40 years, Liu served in two African countries and have seen with his own eyes the growth of China-Africa relations and the benefits of the ever-deepening cooperation between the two sides.
The source of the deep-running China-Africa friendship is that the two sides have helped and supported each other and shared weal and woe in the pursuit of national independence and development, he said.
"China and Africa are true friends who respect each other's choice of development path and never impose their will on each other," he said. "Africa belongs to the African people, and African issues should be determined by the African people."
China never preaches at or exports its model to Africa, nor does China attach any political strings to China-Africa cooperation, he noted.
China has been the largest trading partner of Africa for nine consecutive years. In 2017, two-way trade reached 170 billion U.S. dollars. China's investment stock in Africa has surpassed 100 billion dollars. China-Africa cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative has been thriving, delivering tangible results such as the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway,the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway and the Hisense Home Appliances Industrial Park in South Africa.
China has built hundreds of schools and hospitals, provided training to over 160,000 people and offered government scholarships to over 20,000 students in Africa.
