"In response to Africa's strong request, China will later this year host the summit of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing," Wang said, adding that leaders of the four nations he visited are ready to attend the event and they have also shown great interest in the Belt and Road initiative proposed by China.
"African countries shall not be excluded from the initiative, rather they could play a very important role in pushing forward the initiative," he said.
China and Africa last held the FOCAC summit in late 2017 in Johannesburg, South Africa, which has served as a major force driving China-Africa cooperation in various areas in recent years.
"I believe, through efforts by both sides, the Beijing FOCAC summit this year will be another historical event," Wang said.
During his visit Tuesday to Sao Tome and Principe, the last leg of his New Year visit in Africa, Wang met the country's President Evaristo Carvalho and Prime Minister Patrice TroVOAda.
Carvalho said he is convinced the resumption of diplomatic relations with China was the right decision the Sao Tome and Principe government made. He assured that the country will adhere wholeheartedly to the one-China policy, and looked forward to ever deepening bilateral friendly cooperation.
TroVOAda said the fact that China is ready to develop friendly relations with Sao Tome and Principe shows once again that China treats all countries on an equal footing, regardless of their size, and that China is a sincere friend and reliable partner of Africa.
