China is willing to work together with Tanzania to implement the outcome of the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) as an opportunity to promote the continuous development of China-Tanzania and China-Africa relations, Chinese President Xi Jinping said.

The president made the remarks on Thursday while meeting Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa in Beijing.

Xi pointed out that China supported the efforts of the Tanzanian side to safeguard national rights and interests, develop the economy, and improve people's livelihood.

China is willing to strengthen exchanges of experience with Tanzania in governing country and reducing poverty, Xi added.

Majaliwa echoed Xi's stance that his country will implement the outcome of the summit in China, as he believed Xi's speech delivered at the opening ceremony of the FOCAC Beijing summit was "one of the greatest speeches on international cooperation in the 21st century".

The concepts put forward by China and eight major initiatives announced by Xi fully met the needs of African development, the prime minister highlighted.

"Tanzania firmly adheres to the one-China policy and is willing to actively participate in the construction of the Belt and Road," Majaliwa added.
