This year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. Over the past 25 years, the two countries have experienced international changes and achieved a leapfrog development from partnership, strategic partnership to comprehensive strategic partnership.On the 22nd local time, the two heads of state held talks and unanimously agreed to work together to push the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and South Korea to a new level and build a high-level community with a shared future.
"China South relations stand at a new historical starting point" and "China South has a broad consensus on promoting BRICS expansion and other issues"... Mainstream South African media and Western media such as the Financial Times have made positive comments. Some analysts believe that holding talks between the heads of state of Central and South China before the 15th BRICS summit will help to consolidate consensus and promote the expected results of the BRICS summit.
In Johannesburg, the flags of Central and South China are hanging on the streets.
The reason why China South relations are good and the friendship between China South is deep lies in the fact that the two parties of the two countries have shared weal and woe on their respective development paths and formed a deep friendship. After 25 years of working together and facing a new situation, how can China South promote greater development of bilateral relations?These four suggestions are based on a profound insight into the current international situation, accurately positioning the China South relations, and pointing out the direction for deepening bilateral practical cooperation.
Among them, development is a common task for China and South Korea, and both sides are also on the same path. South Africa is the first African country to join the "the Belt and Road" cooperation, and has become China's largest trading partner in Africa for 13 consecutive years. South African wines, aloe vera gum and other specialty products are highly popular among Chinese people. The De Ah wind power project built and operated by Chinese companies in South Africa has illuminated 300000 households in the area. Meanwhile, South Africa is one of the largest investment destinations for China in Africa, with China's cumulative investment in South Africa exceeding 25 billion US dollars, creating over 400000 job opportunities for South Africa. In the first half of this year, the bilateral trade volume between China and South Korea increased by 11.7% year-on-year.
At present, China is comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization, and South Africa is exploring a modernization path that suits its national conditions. The Chinese side expressed its willingness to cultivate new growth points for cooperation between the two countries, import more high-quality South African products, and assist South Africa in implementing poverty reduction demonstration village projects. The bilateral cooperation agreement signed by the two countries covers the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", new energy power, special economic zones and industrial parks, blue economy, scientific and technological innovation, etc. President Ramaphosa said that China's investment and cooperation have effectively promoted the economic and social development of South Africa, and more Chinese enterprises are welcome to invest and develop in South Africa. Some South African media have pointed out that cooperation with China can help enhance South Africa's economic competitiveness in the context of weak economic growth, high unemployment rate, and power supply shortages in the country.
The world today is intertwined with turmoil. People yearn for peace and development, pursue fairness and justice, but some Western powers engage in unilateral sanctions, build "small courtyards and high walls", provoke division and confrontation, and bring serious impacts to global development and international order. China and South Africa, as important developing countries in the world, share similar positions in the reform of the international governance system and have a responsibility to jointly uphold international fairness and justice and safeguard the interests of developing countries.
China has made it clear this time that it supports South Africa in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs, and is willing to work with developing countries such as South Africa to practice true multilateralism. South Africa stated that it and other "global southern" countries hope to strengthen unity and cooperation with China, and promote the establishment of a more equal, just, and reasonable international order. It can be foreseen that the closer the cooperation between China and South Korea, the stronger the power to defend international fairness and justice.
According to the arrangement, during the BRICS summit, the heads of state of China and South Africa will also jointly host the China Africa Leaders Dialogue. This fully demonstrates that both China and South Africa are willing to build a platform for deepening China Africa cooperation, promote the industrialization and integration process in Africa, and help "global southern" countries achieve common development.
The fruitful results of the visit will further enhance the quality of the "golden era" in Central and South China, injecting new impetus into expanding Sino African cooperation, maintaining world peace and development.
