“There is no one in the Global South who can lead in this modernization except China and African people,” said Solomon Tesfaye Telila, former Minister of Cooperation in Ethiopian Embassy in China, in an exclusive interview of China News Network.

The 2024 summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was held in Beijing recently. In Telila’s view, the Global South is currently operating with one another to undergo modernity, and in this process, China has played a leading role. (Wang Gaofei, Wei Chenxi)
