Road for Better Cooperation
The Belt and Road Initiative has strengthened China-Africa cooperation in various fields after it was put forward in 2013. A large number of projects have been completed or are under construction in African countries, especially since the First Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation held in Beijing in 2017.
Recently, some ambassadors talked to ChinAfrica, sharing their views on the Belt and Road Initiative and the development of China-Africa cooperation. Excerpts of their views follow:
Elia G. Kaiyamo
Namibian Ambassador to China
At the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation(FOCAC) held in September last year, China put forward eight major initiatives to boost China-Africa cooperation and earmarked $60 billion to back the cooperation. As for Namibia, we need more cooperation in infrastructure construction.
Infrastructure is very important, because we learn from the philosophy of the Belt and Road Initiative that connectivity is vital for development. We can connect our people, our neighbors and other countries in the region. Now we are planning to build an airport with the help from China. It's a part of our agreement.
水稻机插秧技术是用机械取代人工手插或抛秧种植水稻的技术，机械插秧可以实现定行、定穴、浅栽、定苗栽插，既体现了直播、抛秧、浅栽、快发的优势，又解决了人工栽插高位分蘖的问题；同时能实现秧苗的有序分布，可控制株距和总苗数，能充分利用温、光资源，高产稳产性好，风险小。水稻机插秧技术与人工移栽相比，具有增产增收、提高工效和省工节本等优点。丽江市应继续加大水稻机插秧技术推广力度，狠抓水稻全程机械化的薄弱环节，加快提高全市水稻生产机械化水平。

For now, Namibia-China tourism cooperation is going on well. Our students are coming to study in China. Namibia is expecting agreements with China in more cooperation fields. Thus, Namibia is learning much from China and our relationship is growing.
The Namibia-China relationship is at the stage of constructive engagement, or partnership. It brings us opportunities to further our cooperation.
Tanzanian Ambassador to China
Tanzania has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China to support the Belt and Road Initiative. We have been engaged in different infrastructure projects that feed into the initiative. Over the last two years, we have been upgrading the Port of Dar es Salaam by building two new berths and modernizing seven berths. This project will promote trade with other countries along the Belt and Road routes, and will provide access to the port for landlocked countries like Malawi, Zambia and Uganda.
“茶道不单单是喝茶，还有很多讲究，可以插花，可以布茶席，可以做得很漂亮。还有音乐，比如用琵琶弹出赞美诗。”李路军关于茶道的理解，反映了已经融入中国的基督教，正在尝试进一步融合于中国文化。这种尝试，还在继续深入，更在随着城市的发展、城市生活方式，以及审美趣味的改变而不断创新。
I want to mention that the biggest investment of China in Africa is in Namibia:Husab Mine. So, in terms of Namibia-China cooperation, we want to make sure that Namibia has a key harbor in the region, and China has helped build the harbor in Walvis Bay, which we can now use to trade with other African countries. The harbor can also serve Angola, the Republic of the Congo, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Botswana, Zambia,and other countries in the region.

Another project that we are implementing is the construction of a railway that would go all the way to Rwanda and Burundi. This will also provide access to the port for these two countries. Also, we understand that electricity is the key component of development, so we are implementing several power projects. Our priority is a hydroelectric power dam with an installed capacity of 2,000 mw,called Stiegler's Gorge. These projects are linked to the Belt and Road Initiative. The Belt and Road Initiative is about connectivity - connectivity with the people and connectivity with infrastructure. An example of this connectivity is tourism - one of our main sources of revenue - and we are targeting China as a source of tourists.
China and Gabon signed an MoU at the FOCAC Beijing Summit held in September 2018, where Chinese President Xi Jinping suggested building an even stronger China-Africa community with a shared future and announced the eight initiatives to further strengthen China-Africa cooperation. Under this framework,China and Gabon are working together to implement the consensus of the heads of state and the outcome of the FOCAC Beijing Summit by forging closer connectivity in policy, infrastructure, trade, finance and people-to-people ties.

我国自20世纪80年代引起全科医学以来，在一定程度上缓解了全科医生严重不足的局面。接受全科医学完整训练的专业人才，可为个人、家庭、社区提供优质、便捷、经济、一体化的基层医疗保健服务，并提供生命与健康的全方位、全过程负责式管理[1]。如何教育和培训高质量的全科医生是未来全科医生培养亟待解决的问题。
Chinese Ambassador to Gabon
沙漠气候条件比较恶劣，主要表现为冬季寒冷干燥，夏季炎热缺水，昼夜温差大，极端气候明显，夏季极端炎热，冬季极端寒冷，从而对沙漠地区路面设计及施工极为不利。由于这种气候条件的存在，沙漠地区地理环境比较恶劣，材料匮乏，物资运输困难，从而使我国沙漠地区公路等级发展处在较低水平，绝大多数主要还是二、三级公路，高等级公路相对较少。但高等级公路也在近年也在不断崛起。
Later this year, we are going to start direct flights between Tanzania and China.We hope more Chinese people will get to know about the opportunities and beauty of Tanzania and visit the country. By connecting people of China and Tanzania, our hope is that the Chinese tourists will visit our country and their spending will contribute to our economy.
In terms of policy, the two countries established a mechanism to implement the eight initiatives immediately after the summit. A system for internal coordination and bilateral communication has been put in place, and the first cooperation projects have been identified for implementation.
In terms of infrastructure, the Port Gentil-Omboue Highway, which is being built by Chinese enterprises, will be completed on schedule within this year. Another highway for Port Gentil is being built, and some new roads, bridges, ports, and power generation and transmission projects are being discussed. In terms of trade, Gabon participated in the First China International Import Expo (CIIE) in November 2018. It was among the African countries that rented the largest exhibition space in the expo. It is now preparing to participate in the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo to be held in June and the Second CIIE to be held in November.
As for financing, China's financial institutions have been providing financial support for highway and vocational education center projects implemented by Chinese enterprises. The China-Africa Development Fund has invested in timber processing projects. Recently, Gabon has proposed a number of new cooperation projects related to ports, power plants and roads.
As far as people-to-people exchanges are concerned, apart from the abovementioned activities, we must also mention the Chinese Medical Team, which has seen 412 doctors visit Gabon in 20 missions since 1977, providing medical services for more than 300,000 patients.In addition, a number of new cooperation projects related to healthcare, education,training, study abroad and agriculture are to be implemented.
At the FOCAC Beijing Summit, President Xi said that China is willing to work with Africa under the Belt and Road Initiative.He suggested that China and Africa should seize the opportunity created by the complementarity between their respective development strategies and avail the major opportunities presented by the Belt and Road Initiative. He believed that the Belt and Road Initiative and the AU Agenda 2063, the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the development programs of African countries can better complement each other.
The Belt and Road Initiative has received broad approval in Gabon. Since the signing of the MoU, a number of Belt and Road seminars have been held, which were attended by Gabon's government officials, think-tank scholars, entrepreneurs,media reporters, and people from other walks of life. They joined the discussion on how to align Gabon's development strategy with the Belt and Road Initiative.
I believe that the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation will further expand the influence of the Belt and Road Initiative in Africa. With the possibility of favorable initiatives brought about by this forum, we are expecting accelerated China-Africa cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and further progress in the comprehensive cooperative partnership between the two countries.
