In a joint press conference with Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar in Abuja, Wang emphasized China’s dedication to the Global Security Initiative and its aim to foster a shared future for the China-Africa community.
To support this initiative, China pledged to provide:
- $135 million in military assistance grants to African countries.
