Ambassador Wang Yu launched into a round of applause for Minister Fiqi’s stalwart defense of Somali sovereignty. He pledged China’s unwavering backing for Somalia’s independence and unity. The ambassador also spotlighted the decade-long presence of China’s embassy in Somalia, coinciding with Somali Flag Day celebrations—quite a momentous occasion indeed.

Minister Fiqi lauded the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit as a smashing success. This event clearly gave a turbo boost to Somali-Chinese relations. Both parties cheerfully concluded to crank up their collaboration across various fields.

The backdrop to all this was the FOCAC Summit in Beijing from September 4th to 6th, a gathering of continental significance. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud joined other African bigwigs to chat about deepening ties and kickstarting modernization amid the lingering shadow of the pandemic.
