Liu noted that, over the years, the CPC and the six sister parties have forged an unbreakable brotherhood in the fight against imperialism and colonialism and blazed a distinctive path of cooperation in the journey of development and rejuvenation. Against a complex and grave international landscape, further deepening solidarity and cooperation between the CPC and the six sister parties meets the shared aspirations of the people of China and the six Southern African countries and aligns with the global trend of unity and self-strengthening among the Global South. The CPC stands ready to work with the six sister parties to implement the important consensus reached between General Secretary Xi Jinping and the top leaders of the six parties, draw wisdom and strength from their shared struggles, carry forward fine traditions, and remain good comrades for mutual learning, good partners for common development, good brothers for mutual support, and good friends for solidarity and coordination. No matter how the international situation evolves, the CPC will work with the six sister parties to practice true multilateralism, advance the implementation of the four major global initiatives, and jointly safeguard international fairness and justice and build a community with a shared future for humanity.
Leaders of the six sister parties in Southern Africa noted, over the 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between African countries and China, China has been a staunch supporter and reliable cooperation partner of Africa. They spoke highly of the remarkable development achievements made by China under the CPC’s leadership, and commended China for firmly safeguarding the interests of developing countries on international and regional issues. Facing mounting internal and external pressures, many African political parties are thinking and exploring future development paths.

Africa’s modernisation drive shares core commonalities with China’s path to modernisation.

African countries are currently confronted with political, economic and security challenges, and are in urgent need of theoretical guidance and ideological leadership. In recent years, China has achieved remarkable new development and its international standing has risen significantly. These achievements are not accidental, but the result of the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

The CPC is willing to engage in close exchanges at all levels with Egypt’s major political parties including the Homeland Protectors Party, enhance political dialogue, deepen mutual learning of concepts in party governance and state administration, promote practical cooperation and people-to-people bonds between the two countries through the “political party+” platform, and advance the development of the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership.
