China-Zambia relations a model of win-win approach (2)

Xi told his Zambian counterpart that China has always viewed Africa as a good friend, partner and brother, and will enhance China-Africa unity and cooperation as one of the cornerstones of its foreign policy.

Beijing firmly supports Africa's efforts in "seeking solidarity, self-renewal, and boosting peace and development", Xi added.

Qu Xing, president of the China Institute of International Studies, said there is some misunderstanding in Africa about China's pursuit of mutually beneficial cooperation with Africa, as some Western media have accused China of "exploiting resources" there.

China and African countries should "take some countermeasures to deal with problems and the changing situation", and public diplomacy should be improved there, Qu suggested.

Besides Sata, Xi also met with Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, Peru's President Ollanta Humala, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Finnish President Sauli Niinisto on Saturday.

Xi is to attend the Boao Forum for Asia on Sunday and make a keynote speech there.
