(ECNS) -- At the upcoming Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), China and Africa will enhance unity and cooperation among developing countries to augment the strength of the Global South, jointly champion international fairness and justice, and advance the peace and development of the world, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular press conference on Friday.

The spokesperson made the remarks in response to some westerners’ false accusation about China’s role in the Global South.

China and Africa are the staunch forces for defending the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, upholding the purposes of the UN Charter, and safeguarding multilateralism and international fairness and justice, he said.

“We work to build an open world economy, tear down walls rather than erect walls, seek openness rather than exclusion, and enable developing countries to better share the benefit of economic globalization,” the spokesperson added.

China is the first to support the African Union’s full membership in the G20 and welcomes more African countries to join the big family of BRICS, he stressed.

Lin noted that China and Africa stand for bridging the gap between rich countries and poor ones, reject all forms of interference by big powers and economic coercion, and ask developed countries to face up to their historical responsibilities and deliver on their development commitments.

China and African countries both advocate and work for safeguarding international peace and security and promoting global development and prosperity. “We firmly support each other’s core interests and uphold developing countries’ just position,” he pointed out.
