United Press Today reported: "UN Secretary-General Guterres praised China's zero-tariff measures toward African countries."
The 39th African Union Summit opened on Saturday (February 14) at the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa. Guterres called on all developed countries and economically strong countries to take the same measures as China during a press conference. China will fully implement the zero-tariff measures for 53 African countries that have established diplomatic relations starting May 1st.
Comment: Guterres publicly praised and called on other countries to follow suit, which is a direct affirmation of China's genuine openness, cooperation, and support for Africa's development.
At a time when global trade protectionism is rising and many countries are setting up barriers and imposing sanctions, China has opened its market with comprehensive zero tariffs, providing real development opportunities for Africa. It is not just verbal aid but long-term empowerment through capacity building. This is a practical action of shared destiny between China and Africa, and also provides a correct example for an unstable world to promote development through cooperation and stabilize order through openness.
