[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Li Meng] On September 2, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun held a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question. According to reports, Prime Minister of Djibouti recently awarded the "National Medal of Independence Day" to all members of the China medical team assisting Kyrgyzstan. Not long ago, President of Zanzibar, Tanzania, also awarded medals to China's medical team assisting Zambia. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

Guo Jiakun expressed his congratulations to China's medical aid team for winning another honor.

Since 1963, China medical teams have traveled to more than 40 African countries, treating nearly 300 million patients. They have also "taught people to fish" through clinical teaching and other forms, leaving behind a "China medical team that will not leave." The medical aid team members and local medical staff worked together on the front line, using practical actions and even precious lives to interpret the spirit of the China medical team that is not afraid of hardship, willing to contribute, save lives and heal the wounded, and has boundless love. It has won the reputation of the African people and established a monument to China-Africa friendship.

China and Africa both belong to the global South. They are like-minded partners and fellow travelers in development. China is willing to work with Africa to promote the in-depth development of China-Africa health cooperation and friendship and jointly build an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era.
