On October 9, 2026, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked that China has released the news that President Boko of Botswana will visit China. Can you introduce the arrangements for this visit and China's expectations? How does China view the current China Botswana relations? 

Premier Li Qiang and Chairman Zhao Leji will respectively meet with President Boko Haram. President Boko will also visit Fujian Province.

China and Botswana are strategic partners. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations 51 years ago, the two countries have adhered to sincere friendship, mutual benefit and win-win results, supported each other on major issues involving each other's core interests, stood guard and helped each other in the face of disasters and epidemics, worked together on the journey of promoting modernization, and firmly stood on the right side of history in international affairs.

This visit will promote the higher-level development of China Botswana relations and make greater contributions to building an all-weather China Africa community with a shared future in the new era.Editor/Min Jing
