LIFTING CHINA'S RELATIONS WITH ZIMBABWE, S.AFRICA TO NEW HEIGHT
Both Zimbabwe and South Africa are China's important partners of cooperation in Africa, and the two countries' relations with China are of strategic significance.
Xi's state visits gave full play to the advantages of mutual political trust and economic complementarity and lifted bilateral ties into a new height, Wang said.
His Zimbabwe trip came upon the 35th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations and marked the first state visit by a Chinese president to the African country since 1996.
China and Zimbabwe boast a time-honored brotherly relationship that dates back to the former's provision of substantial assistance for the latter's struggle for national liberation and independence.
Since the two countries established diplomatic ties on the very day of Zimbabwe's independence, bilateral ties have witnessed steady and fruitful development.
China and Zimbabwe, with their traditional friendship both having a long history and growing ever stronger now, are "real all-weather friends," said Xi, adding that they should not only be good friends in political sphere but also be good partners in promoting development.
Xi's visit to South Africa, the "rainbow nation", is his second since becoming China's head of state.
In their talks after the ceremony, Xi and Zuma discussed ways to further the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two emerging economies, and agreeing to lift bilateral ties to a new height by fully implementing the 5-10 Years Strategic Plan on Cooperation between the two nations.
"With joint efforts of both countries, China-South Africa comprehensive strategic partnership has seen good momentum with enhanced political trust and increasingly pragmatic cooperation in various fields, which has brought about tangible benefits to the two peoples," said Xi.
The close exchanges between the leaders have laid a solid foundation for the long-term, healthy and stable development of bilateral relations, Wang said.
EXPOUNDING NEW VISION ON GLOBAL GOVERNANCE
During Xi's attendance at the Paris climate change conference and the following trip to Africa, he unveiled a grand vision on improving global governance and launched concrete actions, fully demonstrating China's commitment to bearing her responsibility to tackle global challenges and safeguard common interests of human race with other nations.
Talking about global response to climate change in Paris, the Chinese president went further to brilliantly expound China's view and vision on global governance and call for creating a future of win-win cooperation instead of the so-called "zero-sum game."
These views, together with his proposals on advancing the international rule of law and allowing different modes of development based on individual national conditions, are consistent with China's new diplomatic concepts such as the community of common destiny for humankind and new model of international relations and in accordance with the aspirations of fellow developing nations.
At the Paris conference, Xi spoke for fellow developing countries and promoted a fair, reasonable and effective global mechanism in response to climate change. During his Africa trip, he proposed to upgrade China-Africa partnership for win-win cooperation and common prosperity in a bid to promote balanced, inclusive and sustainable development of the world.
In Africa, Xi and African leaders reached important consensus on strengthening China-Africa solidarity and push forward democratization of international relations, which will cast far-reaching influence on guiding the international order toward a more just and fair future.
Xi's tour to Paris and Africa sent out a clear message that China is still the largest developing country and its development will bring opportunities to the developing countries and the rest of the world.
China's foreign policy will still be anchored on the developing world and the country will continue to stand side by side with the developing nations and work to increase the voice and representation of developing nations and in particular, African nations, in global governance.
