As a member state of the African Union, Somalia did not attend the Johannesburg summit in 2015. Therefore the nation was not part of the China-Africa Cooperation mechanism for the past three years. The country's new leadership decided this year to take part in the gathering in Beijing, thus renewing its ties with China. CGTN talked to Somalia's Foreign Minister for his thoughts on President Xi's keynote speech, and the vision of building a community of shared future.
