LUSAKA, Sept. 18 -- Economists in Zambia are happy over China's 'five-no' approach in its dealing with African countries.
The Economics Association of Zambia, an association representing economists, says it is gratifying that China has so far not interfered in African countries' internal affairs as well as not imposed its will on African countries.
Commenting on the outcome of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) where China reaffirmed its 'five-no' approach in its engagement with Africa, the analysts observed that since time immemorial, China's relations with Africa was never dictated by what was obtaining in the world.
The "five-no" approach involves no interference in African countries' pursuit of development paths that fit their national conditions; no interference in African countries' internal affairs; no imposition of China's will on African countries; no attachment of political strings to assistance to Africa; and no seeking of selfish political gains in investment and financing cooperation with Africa.
Lubinda Haabazoka, the association's president, said unlike other countries, China does not attach any political strings to its support to Africa. For instance, China has never been known to make any comments to influence election outcome in Africa.
"And for that we say thank you for this type of relationship," he told Xinhua in an interview.
About the shared future for mankind which came out of the FOCAC summit, the analyst says countries should develop relations of mutual respect and relationships that seek not to undermine other partners.
