On the evening of August 6, 2006, China Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and Chad Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Integration Ahmed Alami signed a communiqué on the resumption of diplomatic relations in Beijing on behalf of their respective governments. China and Chad formally resumed diplomatic relations. Chad is a landlocked country in Africa with a small population of only 8.5 million people, but it covers an area of more than 1.28 million square kilometers. Chad was once the country with the largest land area among the countries that established "diplomatic" relations with the Taiwan authorities. China and Chad established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level on November 28, 1972. On August 12, 1997, the Chadian government violated the principles of the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Chad and "established diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities. The China government announced that it would suspend diplomatic relations with Chad starting from August 15 of the same year. As soon as the news of the suspension of diplomatic relations between China and Chad broke out, it immediately stirred up waves in Chad. Opposition voices came from various fields, including within the government, opposition parties, ordinary people, overseas students... Many members even publicly criticized the government in parliament. Blame. At that time, Chad was facing relatively serious economic difficulties and often could not pay wages, and even civil servants 'wages were in arrears for several months. Some people in Chad said helplessly: "It's not that we are unfriendly to China, but now for the stability of the regime and the ability to pay wages, we really have no choice." Although diplomatic relations were cut off politically, economic and trade exchanges between China and Chad have never stopped. Bilateral trade volume increased from two to three million US dollars at the time of the severance of diplomatic relations to 206 million US dollars in 2005. In recent years, China's international status has increased day by day, and friendly relations with African countries have developed vigorously. Many representatives of African countries who have been to China are surprised to find that the "old friends" 20 years ago have completely changed, so they voluntarily become our promoters. Under this trend, Chad, which has been excluded from the tide of China-Africa friendship, feels increasingly lonely. At this time, many friendly African countries took the initiative to help China do the work of the Chadian government. Some Chadian officials have also taken the initiative to express their desire to rebuild friendly relations. When both parties have this willingness and can meet each other's basic requirements, they naturally sit together. On August 6, the Foreign Minister of Chad arrived in Beijing with a personal letter from the President. At 23:03, the foreign ministers of the two countries signed a resumption document.
