Hey there! Have you heard about Africa Day celebrated in Beijing? 🎉🌍 It’s a special event where people from China and African countries come together to celebrate their friendship and talk about making the world a better place for everyone!
On Saturday, African ambassadors, Chinese officials, scholars, and cultural representatives met in Beijing to strengthen the bond between China and Africa. They discussed big ideas like fairness, including everyone, and understanding each other’s history better.
Rahmat Allah Mohamed Osman, who represents the African Union (that’s like a big club of African countries) in China, was super happy! 😊 He thanked China for supporting Africa’s voice in important global meetings, like the G20, which is a group of the world’s largest economies.
Martin Mpana, the ambassador of Cameroon to China, said, “We need a world open to all, for all, by all, not by some to decide for others to obey.” That means he wants a world where everyone gets to have a say and work together! 🤝
He also talked about how China focuses on helping its people, and he thinks African countries can do the same. Even if the political systems are different, the most important thing is taking care of people’s lives and making sure they have what they need. 🏡🍎
Hodan Osman Abdi, the ambassador of Somalia to China, shared how China is creating chances for African businesses to grow. She said that China is opening doors for African companies to sell their products in China! Isn’t that cool? 🛍️🌟
This year’s Africa Day theme is “Year of Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations.” That means they’re focusing on fairness and making things right for people of African heritage all around the world.
Events like Africa Day show how countries can be friends and help each other out. Maybe one day, you can be part of making the world a friendlier place too! 🌈🌎
