Some negative reports by certain international media on Africa-China
strategic relations of cooperation are not correct, and the international
society should rightly treat the relations as well as the Beijing Summit of the
Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.
Ethiopian Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin made the remark at a press
conference here Sunday, following a two-day landmark summit between Chinese and
African leaders.
Seyoum said many of the Western media reports on the Beijing Summit of the
Forum on China-Africa Cooperation were "negative and tainted", and it is untrue
to say China disregards the wrongdoings of some African countries that have
partnership with China.
African countries and China are jointly pursuing the common value concept of
mankind, including human rights, he said.
Although the partnership between Africa and China is not perfect, the two
sides are capable of correctly dealing with all kinds of problems including the
problem of governance, he said.
The goal of this summit is mutual benefit and win-win, which is not only for
Africa and China, but also for the international society as a whole, he said.
