    The meeting precedes the 2024 summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) scheduled for September 4 to September 6 in Beijing.

    The meeting culminated in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Belt and Road Initiative projects, news exchange cooperation, and television cooperation, among others.
