The Vice President of the Republic receives Du Xiaohui to discuss the responsibilities and preparations for this new phase of cooperation.
Equatorial Guinea will assume the co-chairmanship of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in 2027, taking over from the Republic of the Congo, and will hold this responsibility until 2030.
As part of the preparations, the Vice President of the Republic, responsible for National Defence and Security, H.E. Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, received Du Xiaohui, Director-General of African Affairs at China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Secretary-General of the Chinese Follow-up Committee of FOCAC.
During the audience, the two sides held an extensive exchange of views on the responsibilities Equatorial Guinea will undertake and the work required for its future co-chairmanship. The meeting provided an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Forum’s operation and address the organisational and coordination arrangements for this period.
The Chinese representative’s visit forms part of the preparatory dialogue aimed at maintaining cooperation between China and Africa and delivering tangible results for their peoples.
For Equatorial Guinea, this responsibility means helping to represent the common interests of African countries in a platform for dialogue with China that addresses priority areas such as investment, infrastructure, industry, training and economic development.
The Vice President expressed the intention to use the 2027–2030 period to follow up on the agreements reached, promote new cooperation projects and work to ensure that relations between China and Africa translate into greater development opportunities for countries across the continent.
