He emphasised that strengthening collaboration with African countries remains a key priority for Beijing, particularly as global dynamics evolve and new challenges emerge.
The remarks come amid heightened international attention on the Middle East, where ongoing tensions continue to shape diplomatic agendas and economic outlooks worldwide.
