Hey there, future world-changers! 🌍 Did you know that 2024 marks a special anniversary between China and Gambia? It’s been 50 years since these two countries became friends! 🎉
Back on December 14, 1974, China and Gambia shook hands and established formal diplomatic relations. That’s like when you make a new best friend at school! 🤝
Over the past five decades, they’ve worked together on lots of cool stuff like trade, culture, and education. In 2018, they signed an agreement to share their cultures—kind of like swapping stories and traditions with your pals! 📚✨
And guess what? In June 2023, they agreed to help each other with vocational education. That means they’re teaming up to teach people important job skills! 🛠️🎓
China is now Gambia’s biggest trading partner. Imagine trading your favorite snacks with a friend, but on a super big scale! 🍪🔄🍫
The trade between the two countries grew from $389 million in 2014 to $514 million in 2023. That’s like their friendship growing stronger over time! 🥳
China sends Gambia things like cloth and metal products, while Gambia sends China logs and titanium ore. It’s a big exchange of useful stuff! 🚢💎
Isn’t it awesome how countries can be friends just like us? Let’s celebrate this amazing 50-year friendship between China and Gambia! 🎊🙌
