Sino-African relations lauded after 4-country trip

China and several African nations have reiterated their commitment to upholding each other's sovereignty and working together for shared development as Beijing's top diplomat Wang Yi wrapped up a six-day visit to the continent, the traditional first visit destination of the new year by Chinese foreign ministers.

During the trip, which brought Wang to Egypt, Tunisia, Togo and Cote d'Ivoire, leaders of all four countries voiced their support for China's position on the Taiwan question by declaring their adherence to the one-China principle.

Wang said this is a full demonstration of the tradition of China and Africa supporting each other.
