Xi Jinping Meets with the President of Togo's Council of Ministers

Xi Jinping commended Togo's efforts to expand cross-border use of the renminbi.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the traditional friendship between China and Togo was personally forged by earlier generations of leaders of the two countries, has deep roots and has grown stronger over time. Over the years, the two sides have worked together in solidarity, continually strengthened the bonds of cooperation, and increased mutual understanding and affinity between their peoples, writing a vivid chapter in building an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era. China and Togo share compatible ideas on friendly cooperation and have broad prospects. The two sides should further strengthen exchanges between their parties and countries at all levels, deepen exchanges of governance experience, and firmly support each other on issues concerning their respective core interests and major concerns. The zero-tariff measures are a special arrangement through which China seeks to support Africa's independent development and empower China-Africa cooperation through institutional opening-up. Togo is welcome to make good use of zero tariffs, the “green channel” for products exported to China and other measures, further fulfill its role as a regional hub for trade and logistics, and help more distinctive products from Togo and the region enter the Chinese market. China appreciates Togo's efforts to expand cross-border use of the renminbi and is willing to strengthen cooperation with Togo in new energy, digital and intelligent technologies, and other fields to support Togo's industrialization. China and Togo hold similar positions on international and regional affairs and should strengthen multilateral coordination, work together to advance reform and improvement of global governance, and promote regional peace and security.

The two leaders announced the elevation of bilateral relations to a China-Togo community with a shared future in the new era.

Xi Jinping proposed abiding by the UN Charter and respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries concerned.

Xi Jinping put forward four principles for constructive participation by all parties in resolving African hotspot issues. First, uphold African leadership.
