Mbah Acha Rose Fomundam, Ambassador of Cameroon to China and the African Union, stated that this matchmaking event is essential in helping Chinese companies communicate with African counterparts and breaking the stereotype about Africa. Investment cooperation is a vital part of pragmatic cooperation between China and Africa, and Chinese enterprises are the driving force behind promoting economic and trade cooperation between the two sides. African countries are keenly looking forward to Chinese enterprises investing in Africa and are ready to open their arms. Africa is a continent with tremendous development potential, and African countries are committed to creating a safe and orderly business environment. They are willing to establish closer cooperation with Chinese enterprises and strengthen investment cooperation in key areas such as trade, mining, processing, and agriculture, to jointly create a better future for China-Africa cooperation and bring more opportunities and hope to Africa's development.
Ambassador Momar Diop from Senegal expressed appreciation for China's pledge to invest a total of at least $10 billion in Africa over the next three years, made at the Eighth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. Regarding the investment and business environment in Africa, most credit rating agencies are from the West, and their ratings do not fully reflect the objective situation. In fact, many African countries have formulated policies to attract foreign investment, and the business environment has made great progress. He believes that more and more Chinese enterprises, especially private ones, will regard Africa as a land of investment opportunities and share development opportunities with Africa.
