Mao made the remarks at a regular press conference in response to the prospect of China-Africa energy cooperation.

Aligned with the theme of the 2024 FOCAC summit, which will be held from September 4 to 6, the Eighth Conference of Chinese and African Entrepreneurs, which will be held on September 6 in Beijing. It is reported that Chinese energy companies, notably CNPC, have carried out in-depth cooperation with African countries in various areas, contributing significantly to local social and economic development.
