He said that for a long time, the six parties in southern Africa have united and led their people in the cause of national independence, construction and development, winning the support of the people.

The Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Leadership School will provide an important platform for the six parties to improve their governing capacity and will play an active role in promoting the development and revitalization of their respective countries, Xi added.

Noting that the world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, Xi stressed it is more important than ever for China and Africa to strengthen solidarity and cooperation, address risks and challenges, promote common development and enhance people's welfare.

The CPC is willing to take the inauguration ceremony as an opportunity to strengthen the exchange of experience and mutual understanding in governance with African political parties, the Chinese president said.

He also called for supporting each other to follow the path of development in line with one's own national conditions, deepening pragmatic cooperation in various fields, promoting the building of a high-level China-Africa community of shared future, and making a new and greater contribution to building a better world.
