Vice President Wang Qiang’s speech
Vice President Wang Qiang extended a warm welcome to the arrival of Somali diplomats. He pointed out that in the context of complex and volatile international situations and rising protectionism, the "global South" represented by China and Africa is reshaping the world pattern with strong resilience. As the core forces of developing countries, China and the African continent have always shared the same breath and destiny. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1960, China-Somalia relations have become a vivid practice of this profound friendship. Politically, the two countries respect and firmly support each other, and Somalia adheres to the one-China principle. During the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2024, the heads of state of both parties Announced the establishment of a strategic partnership to draw a new blueprint for bilateral relations; in practical cooperation, with the help of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China-Somalia cooperation continues to deepen: China helps Somalia improve its development capabilities in areas such as infrastructure, agriculture, and fisheries, and Somalia's resources and markets also provide opportunities for Chinese companies, forming a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. The two sides actively promote the "five links" of policies, facilities, w88, capital, and people's hearts, which not only benefits the people of the two countries, but also provides support for the implementation of global development, security, and civilization initiatives, and promotes the development of the international order in a fair and reasonable direction. He emphasized that only by working together can challenges be overcome, and he looked forward to the seminar injecting new impetus into China-Somalia diplomacy and jointly building a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future.
Dean Wang Bo’s speech
Dean Wang Bo pointed out in his speech that diplomats, as national image representatives and promoters of peaceful development, shoulder the important mission of promoting mutual learning among civilizations. This training course is a key measure for China and Somalia to deepen diplomatic exchanges and enhance mutual trust, and will inject new vitality into the friendly relations between the two countries. He pointed out that after more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China has become the world's second largest economy. This great achievement is inseparable from opening up and international cooperation. China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development, promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and promoted the common development and prosperity of the global South. He warmly invited the students to visit the Forbidden City and the Great Wall during their stay in Beijing to experience the heritage of Chinese civilization, visit modern neighborhoods such as Zhongguancun to witness the take-off of science and technology, and go to Hainan to inspect local practices of the “Belt and Road Initiative” and go deep into rural areas to experience the results of revitalization, so as to fully perceive the diverse vitality of Chinese society. The course of the training class carefully sets up core modules such as "China's National Conditions", "Foreign Policy" and "China-Africa Cooperation", and brings together diplomatic experts and government practitioners to teach. It not only displays a true and three-dimensional Chinese development concept, but also looks forward to Somali friends sharing local experience and achieving two-way mutual learning. Facing global challenges such as the countercurrent of globalization and the climate crisis, he stressed that China and Somalia, as partners of developing countries, should use the platform of the seminar to deepen cooperation, safeguard common interests, and promote a fair international order. At the same time, I wish Chinese teachers and students to cherish the opportunity, draw wisdom from Somalia’s unique culture and history, and jointly build the training class into a practical platform for knowledge sharing and mutual learning among civilizations, cultivate a sense of a community with a shared future for mankind, and inject wisdom and momentum into China-Somalia friendship and South-South cooperation.
Deputy Director Abdirizak Abdullahi Ibrahim’s speech
Deputy Director Abdirizak Abdullahi Ibrahim, on behalf of all the trainees, would like to express his sincere gratitude to the Ministry of Commerce and the w88 casino for their warm reception and thoughtful arrangements. He reviewed the deepening cooperation between China and Somalia in various aspects such as politics, diplomacy, economy and society, science and technology and culture since the establishment of diplomatic relations. He especially mentioned that China has firmly assisted the Somali people in achieving economic and social revitalization and development during the critical period of the end of Somalia's civil war and the beginning of comprehensive national reconstruction. He said that the holding of this training event is another powerful example of the high degree of friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Somalia. Somalia hopes to learn more about China's valuable experience in economic cooperation with East African countries, especially Somalia, through the training, and to further understand China's policies and successful paths in technological innovation, scientific development, poverty alleviation and opening up. It also hopes that the w88 casino will continue to organize similar training projects so that more professionals from Somalia and other countries and regions can benefit from this valuable exchange and learning platform.
The w88 casino will rely on its disciplinary resource advantages to form a team of interdisciplinary professional teaching teachers to provide high-quality, all-round teaching services to Somali students. This seminar focuses on in-depth discussions on China’s foreign policy, the evolution of the international situation, and practical experience in modern diplomacy, and is committed to injecting wisdom and momentum into promoting China-Africa friendly cooperation and building a “China-Africa community with a shared future” in the new era.
