Africa urged to enhance exchanges on development

In their quest to improve governance in Africa, political parties in the continent have been urged to explore the Communist Party of China's inclusive approach in order to attain progress. Mwaivu Kaluka, the National Chairman of the Communist Party Marxists — Kenya said for the past decade, African countries have achieved a lot through economic partnership with China and it is time they sought ideological exchanges on governance.
Mwaivu said through programs like the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative, African countries have benefited immensely from China's support in infrastructure, trade and industry and it is time African political parties elevate this cooperation to the ideological level.
"It is worth noting that China's cooperation with Africa did not start recently, but during our liberation struggle from the West's colonialism. China actively supported freedom movements in Africa. We should move beyond economic cooperation to ideological cooperation to facilitate Africa's adoption of policies that are not as exploitative as those inherited from our former colonial powers," Mwaivu said.
