Initiatives, actions boost common prosperity

Comments from visiting African leaders and senior officials serve as the latest reminders of how China's lasting, ever-evolving philosophy, visions and actions, as promoted by President Xi Jinping, have led to a gearing up of common development and profound amity with the African continent.

Thierry Lezin Moungalla, the Republic of Congo's minister of communication and media and a government spokesman, expressed his great respect for Xi for the visions that he has put forward, including the landmark Belt and Road Initiative.

Xi has "turned such visions into reality" by earnestly participating in high-level meetings with African leaders and strengthening communication mechanisms, Moungalla said at a forum in Beijing last month.
