Cooperative achievements between Africa and China are great and the so-called "debt trap" attack from the West is to "slow down the successes of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)," former Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf asserted in a recent interview with CGTN's Adel El Mahrouky.

Comparing the achievements made within various cooperative mechanisms between Africa and other world countries, Sharaf, who is also a member of the InterAction Council, said that the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) stands out.
