On January 5, 2021 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Nigerian Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama in Abuja during his official visit to Nigeria. Nigerian ministers of Industry, Trade and Investment, Transportation, Aviation and Health also attended the talks.

Wang Yi said, for 30 years in a row, Chinese foreign ministers have chosen Africa as their first New Year visit destination, which demonstrates the unbreakable traditional friendship between China and Africa.

This year's visit shows that the COVID-19 cannot stop China-Africa friendship and cooperation. China has always prioritized its cooperation with Nigeria and taken Nigeria as a major strategic partner.

Since the establishment of diplomatic ties 50 years ago, China and Nigeria have always treated each other with mutual understanding, mutual trust and mutual support. Both sides cherish their friendship and cooperation, respect each other's core interests and major concerns, uphold non-interference in internal affairs, and support multilateralism and democracy in international relations.

China is ready to work with Nigeria to review the useful experience of the past 50 years and draw up a blueprint for the next 50 years. China highly appreciates Nigeria's consistent understanding and support on issues concerning China's core interests and major concerns, and will continue to support Nigeria in playing a more important role on the international and regional stage, and support Nigeria in safeguarding its sovereignty, security and development interests.

Wang Yi added, this year is vital for China-Nigeria relations. It is the right time for the two countries to set up an intergovernmental committee and make overall plans for bilateral cooperation. He hopes the two sides will promote the earlier operation of the committee for facilitating bilateral cooperation.

China is ready to strengthen cooperation with Nigeria in infrastructure, agriculture, investment, free trade zone, education and other fields, and import more Nigerian products.

China welcomes Nigeria to actively participate in the China International Import Expo and share China's development opportunities.
Wang Yi stressed that since the inception of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) 20 years ago, China-Africa cooperation has made important progress in all fields. China appreciates Nigeria's support for developing the FOCAC and is ready to work with Nigeria and other African members to hold a successful new session of the FOCAC and make plans for the next step of China-Africa cooperation.

China congratulates Africa on the commencement of the African Continental Free Trade Area on January 1 this year. It is an important step taken by Africa in solidarity and self-improvement, and also important progress in Africa's economic integration. China is ready to explore free trade cooperation with Africa.

Wang Yi expressed, China-Nigeria relations go beyond the bilateral scope. China is ready to work with Nigeria to uphold multilateralism and oppose unilateral actions; to uphold free trade and oppose protectionism; to uphold fairness and justice and oppose power bullying, and to safeguard the common rights and interests of developing countries.

Onyeama said, the Chinese foreign minister makes Nigeria the first stop of his first foreign visit in the New Year, which reflects the high level of Nigeria-China relations. Nigeria attaches great importance to developing close cooperation with China and regards China as a special strategic partner of cooperation.

Nigeria firmly supports the one-China principle and appreciates China's adherence to the "one country, two systems". He thanked China for always standing with Nigeria and providing strong support for its fight against the pandemic. Nigeria will ensure efficient operation of the intergovernmental committee of the two countries, enhance bilateral cooperation and look forward to jointly hosting celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties with China.

Nigeria hopes to strengthen cooperation with China in infrastructure, education, information and communications technology, vaccines and other fields, and welcomes more Chinese enterprises to invest in Nigeria to ease the trade imbalance. The FOCAC has become a model of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Nigeria, as well as between China and Africa. Nigeria is ready to work with China to make the new session of FOCAC a success.

Nigeria and China have conducted fruitful cooperation in multilateral institutions and international affairs. Nigeria is ready to further strengthen coordination and cooperation with China to safeguard the common interests of developing countries.

The two sides also exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern.

After the talks, the two foreign ministers signed a memorandum of understanding on the establishment of the China-Nigeria Intergovernmental Committee.

Tanzania, China ties for New Heights - January 2021

Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi started his five-nation tour in Africa on Monday, which will take him to Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Botswana, Tanzania and Seychelles in line with the ministry's 30-year diplomatic tradition of paying new year visits to Africa, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying at a press briefing.

Chinese foreign ministers have chosen Africa for their first overseas visit each year since 1991.

"China and Africa's friendship had withstood the pandemic and risen to a new height in 2020. The Extraordinary China-Africa Summit on Solidarity against COVID-19 jointly held by president Xi Jinping and the African leaders has set the example for global anti-epidemic cooperation. 2020 marked the 20th anniversary of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC)", said Hua.

Wang finds a continent desperate for Covid-19 vaccines, medical supplies and debt relief.

With the Chinese economy having taken a hit from the pandemic, there's concern in African capitals that lending will dry up or decrease significantly.

In Tanzania

THE Sino-Tanzania long relationship is headed for new heights as China's State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, is set to jet in the country on Thursday Jan 07, 2021 for a two-day official visit.

Minister Wang, according to the government Chief Spokesperson, Dr Hassan Abbasi, will be received by President John Magufuli at the new Geita Airport.

The visit, the first for China top brass leader since President Magufuli came to power in 2015, signifies a long relation between Tanzania and China dated back since the 1960's as established by the two nation founding fathers-Mwalimu Julius Nyerere and Chairman Mao Zedong.

The China-Tanzania relation dates back to 1960s, when China was still a developing country and it was cemented when Dar es Salaam campaigned for Beijing to regain its United Nations Security Council "veto power" and the construction of Tanzania Zambia Railway (Tazara) in early 1970s.

"Tanzania assisted China a lot to learn about Africa and equally significant, Tanzania learned a lot from China, especially in the area of social development via socialism.

"It is well remembered that China also joined Tanzania when it pioneered the liberation struggle for countries in South Africa, through provision of various aids-including arms and housing liberators," Dr Abbasi said.

The government spokesperson said in recent years, the two countries' relations turned to economic and social development. For instance, in the last 30 years, the Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) from Beijing to Dar reached 7.5billion US dollars for Mainland and 142.9 million US dollars to Zanzibar.

The FDIs translated to almost 950 noticeable investments for both Mainland and Isles.

"This makes China one of the leading investors in Tanzania," Dr Abbasi said.

Data show that the FDIs have created almost 200,000 jobs in Tanzania.

Meanwhile, Tanzania exports a number of agricultural products to China, including soya beans, cassava and fodders. The country also exports cow horns and some fish products.

On average, Dr Abbasi said, Tanzania exports to Beijing agro-products worth 145 million US dollars a year and the figures are rising fast.

Tanzania remains one of the countries that have benefited the most from receiving Chinese aid through the China-Africa Cooperation Forum (FOCAC).

In the first term of President Magufuli's regime, a total of 11 projects have been implemented through FOCAC.

The projects include construction of the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation in Dar es Salaam, construction of the University of Dar es Salaam Library, construction of two Unguja and Pemba Water Projects; expansion of Abdalla Mzee Hospital in Pemba as well as the construction of doctors' houses.

Other projects include renovation of Mao Tse-Tung Stadium in Unguja, construction and maintenance of the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, rehabilitation of Moshi Police College and construction of Kagera Technical College.

China also has a number of projects present under feasibility study. The projects include construction of Mwalimu Nyerere Agricultural University, University of Transport (NIT) and expansion of Jakaya Kikwete Heart Institute (JKCI) as well as construction of Ngorongoro Geopark.

In the education sector, he said, China increased the number of scholarships to study in China. In 2015-2020, a total of 500 Tanzanians had access to long-term training and 1,029 received short-term training in China.

Wang Yi’s Busy Day in Kinshasa​


On the second stop of his weeklong Africa tour, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spent a very busy day on Wednesday in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he met with President Félix Tshisekedi and Foreign Minister Marie Tumba Nzeza.

The breadth of Wang’s talks with Congolese stakeholders highlights the growing importance of the Central African country in Beijing’s broader African engagement strategy. The two sides agreed on a modest debt relief package, enlisting Beijing’s support for the withdrawal of UN forces in the country and signed an MoU for the DRC to become the 45th African country to join the Belt and Road Initiative.

China’s newfound enthusiasm to engage the Congolese government may be motivated in part by President Tshisekedi’s recent rapprochement with the United States. Just before Christmas last year, Kinshasa rejoined the African Growth and Opportunity Act, known as AGOA, which allows for duty-free access to the U.S. market and the two countries also resumed military ties.

Both the U.S. and China also view access to the Congo’s abundant mineral reserves, especially cobalt, as strategically vital. Cobalt is an essential ingredient in batteries used in electric vehicles and other electronic devices. Last year, China began stockpiling the mineral and expanding its already-dominant presence in the Congolese cobalt mining sector.

Wang will spend Thursday in Botswana, Friday in Tanzania, and then return to China on Saturday from The Seychelles.

Mnarudia rudia rudia propagan zile zile za akina Trump,Bolton na Pompeo kuhusu Wachina - nani kawambieni Wachina wanaganga njaa?

Sijui kwa nini baadhi ya Watanzania wanakuwa driven na rabid hatred ya Wachina! Asili mia kubwa ya allegations raised against Chinese yanatiwa chumvi mno, mnataka kuwaharibia sifa Wachina kwa kuwa hawatoi hongo kirahisi - kama ni suala la baadhi ya mikataba ya makampuni ya Kichina yenye utata,mnacho sahau ni kwamba mara nyingi utakuta waswahili ndio wahusika wakuu wa ku-manipulate/usanii wa mikatapa ili wapate chochote.

Chukulia mradi wa Badari ya Bagamoyo, kwa mfano: binafsi nashauri kwamba katika mazungumzo baina Dk. Magufuli na Waziri kutoka Uchina Mradi wa Bagamoyo unapashwa kufufuliwa tena kwa ajiri ya manufaa mapana ya Taifa letu - tukumbuke kwamba licha ya ujenzi wa Bandari, Wachina walikuwa wame-plan vile vile kutujengea viwanda vingi vya kisasa hivyo kuzalisha ajira za uhakika kwa vijana - mradi wa viwanda unge tufikisha katika Dunia nyingine kabisa - sioni kama Viongozi wetu hilo walitilia maanani hata kidogo, washauri wa Dk. Magufuli walicho kiona ni kuwasema kwamba wanataka kuhodhi aridhi kwa miaka mia moja, mara wachina wanataka kukusanya mapato ya bandari ikikamilika hivyo waswahili wakawachukulia wachina kwamba ni wezi - mnawalahumu wachina kutaka kukusanya mapato kutoka kwenye Bandari waliyo jenga wenyewe kwa fedha zao bila ya Serikali yetu kuchangia chochote katika ujenzi huo - na wala Wachina hawakusema kwamba Serikali yetu haitapewa %ge fulani za gawiwo la mapato. Waswahili wanataka mapato wakusanye wao na kufuja hela, mwisho wa siku Wachina washindwe kurudisha gharama za investment kwenye mradi wa Bandari ya Bagamoyo.

Nilisha wambia kwamba Wachina hawawezi kurudia makosa ya kuwa na imani na waswahili kuendesha miradi yenye investment kubwa ya Wachina - Wachina walipata fundisho kubwa baada ya Serikali za Tanzania na Zambia kushindwa kurudisha mkopo wa matrillion ya ujenzi wa reli ya TAZARA, reli ilipokuwa chini ya Uongozi wa Wachina ilikuwa inapata fahida sana, lakini baada ya Wachina kuwa kabidhi Waswahili ndio TAZARA ikaanza kuendeshwa kwa hasara mpaka leo - miaka karibu hamsini imekwisha pita tangu tupewe mkopo wa ujenzi wa TAZARA mpaka leo Wachina hatuja warudishia hata senti tano ya mkopo wao.

Leo hii ndiyo tutegemee kwamba Wachina wata kubali kuwekeza fedha lukuki kwenye ujenzi wa bandari ya Bagamoyo, halafu baada ya kukamilika kwa mradi wao, waswahili ndio wapewa mamlaka ya kukusanya mapato - yaani mnataka ya TAZARA yajirudie tena kwenye investment ya Wachina katika Bandari ya Bagamoyo, Chinese are no fools.

Kama ni kweli mradi mzima wa Bagamoyo ulikuwa umegubikwa na utata fulani, kwa nini utata huo husimalizwe kwa mazungumzo - kama ingeshindikana Viongozi wetu walishindwaje kuwatuma viongozi wastaafu ambao Serikali ya Uchina inawaheshimu mfano: Mh.Hammed Salim Hammed, Mh. Jakaya M. Kikwete kama hao wangepeleka malalamiko yao kwa Uongozi wa wajuu kwenye Serikali ya Uchina nina uhakika wangesikilizwa na kufanyia marekebisho mashariti ya Ujenzi wa Bandari ya Bahamoyo ambayo ina umuhimu wa kipekee Nchini ni watu wachache wanao liona hilo.

Narudia kusema kwamba Serikali yetu ingeweza kumtuma Mh. Hammed Salimu Hammed, Mh. Jakaya Kikwete kuonana na Ti Xing Pin na kumaliza sinto famahu kuhusu mradi wa Bagamoyo ambao kusema kweli ungekuwa ni life line ya Uchumi wa Taifa letu.

Angalizo: sisi kama Taifa tujaribu kupunguza political rhetoric ambazo siyo fresh hata kidogo - chukulia statements za mwaka jana, baadhi ya wana siasa na baadhi ya Watanzania walivyo kuwa wanawashambulia Wachina kwenye media kwamba ni wezi, waporaji wa aridhi na walagha linapo kuja suala la kuwekeza kwenye Bandari ya Bagamoyo - na kwenye ujenzi wa mradi wa SGR - propaganda zilikuwa ni zile zile: wachina wezi,lakini tukiangalia gharama za ujenzi wa SGR so far mpaka uje kukamilika tutajikuta kwamba, kama wachina wangepewa mradi huu wangeujenga kwa gharama nafuu na kwa haraka - lakini wana siasa walisha weka shinikizo kwamba Wachina wasipewe mradi huu.

Baadhi ya Watanzania tusivyo tabirika, leo hii nilipo ona mapokezi ya Waziri wa mambo ya nje wa Uchina, nilishangaa sana - ghafla Wachina tulio wachukulia ni wezi na walaghai, siku ya leo tumeanza kuwapa sifa nzuri lukuki, wakaonekana ni binadamu wanao jari, watoa misaada na wakutegemewa, sasa hii inatufundisha nini? Inatufundisha kwamba tunapo condemn binadamu wenzetu tujifunze kubakiza hakiba ya maneno tusiwe carried away tujaribu ku-tone down Political rhetoric, hivi, kwa mfano huyu Waziri wa Uchina angekuja nchini mwaka juzi/jana akakuta crusade iliyo kuwa imeanza kujengeka Nchini ya kawashutumu Wachina kwenye media kuhusu mradi wa bandari ya Bagamoyo na SGR - unafikiri angekubari kufanya ziara Tanzania - I don't think so.
