Jointly organized by Jinhua Municipal People’s Government and Zhenjiang Normal University, the meeting attracted over 400 government officials and diplomats from 40 countries and regions to promote China-Africa cooperation across various fields.
Zhejiang plays an important role in China’s cooperation with Africa, with the city of Jinhua carrying out extensive cooperation with Africa across various fields, said Qin Boyong, vice chairperson of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, in a video speech delivered to the forum.
