Chinese President Xi Jinping and President of the Libyan Presidency Council Mohamed Menfi announced the establishment of a strategic partnership between the two countries on Wednesday in Beijing during their meeting at the Great Hall of the People.

Menfi is in Beijing for the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).

Xi pointed out that China and Libya enjoy a traditional friendship, and over the past 46 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries have always supported and treated each other with sincerity.

No matter how the global landscape evolves, China's stance of supporting the stability and development of Libya and promoting China-Libya friendly cooperation will not change, said Xi, noting that China is willing to deepen political mutual trust, and expand exchanges and cooperation with Libya to ensure steady and sustained growth of China-Libya relations.

Xi stressed that China appreciates Libya's adherence to the one-China principle, supports Libya in safeguarding national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity and finding a path to national peace, stability and prosperity through dialogue and consultation.

China supports Libya's economic reconstruction and improvement of people's livelihood, hoping that Libya will create a sound business environment for Chinese enterprises, said Xi.

China is willing to work with Libya to enhance dialogue and cooperation with African and Arab countries, strengthen communication within multilateral frameworks including the United Nations, consolidate solidarity and coordination among countries in the Global South, and safeguard the common interests of developing countries and international fairness and justice, said Xi.

Menfi said he highly value attending the FOCAC Beijing summit, which provides a historic opportunity for the development of Libya-China and Africa-China relations.

China is crucial to Libya from the perspectives of peace and economy, said Menfi, noting that Libya is willing to strengthen trade and investment cooperation with China within the frameworks of the Belt and Road Initiative and FOCAC, welcomes Chinese enterprises to participate in Libya's economic reconstruction, and is willing to provide a favorable environment for them.

Libya firmly abides by the one-China principle and will not change its stance under any circumstances, said Menfi.

China's top political advisor Wang Huning on Monday urged efforts to unite and guide people in the private sector to become pioneers of high-quality development and promoters of common prosperity, thus playing a prominent part in advancing Chinese modernization.

Wang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks in Beijing at a seminar marking the 30th anniversary of the Guangcai Program, a public undertaking that aims to unite private entrepreneurs to promote common prosperity.

Hailing the contributions of the program in fronts such as poverty alleviation, rural revitalization and the private sector's development, Wang called for efforts to enhance the Party's overall leadership over the program, deepen the program's reform and innovation, and promote its self-improvement, so that it can yield more fruitful results.

The seminar was presided over by Shi Taifeng, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee.
