On the morning of November 6, 2026, Li Qiang met with Gabonese President Kwame Nkuma, who was on a state visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Li Qiang stated that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Gabon, they have always stood together through thick and thin, supported each other, and continuously reached new heights in bilateral relations. The President of the country will hold talks with Nguma to jointly draw up a new blueprint for the development of bilateral relations.

Li Qiang pointed out that China is willing to build political mutual trust with Gabon, deepen cooperation in traditional fields such as mining, infrastructure, agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, actively carry out cooperation in emerging fields such as digital economy and artificial intelligence, and create more economic growth points. Gabon makes good use of policies such as zero tariffs and the green channel for exporting African agricultural and food products to China. China is willing to import more high-quality products from Gabon, support more Chinese enterprises to invest and develop in Canada, and hopes that Gabon can provide a fair, stable, and predictable market environment for enterprises. Both sides will deepen exchanges in youth, culture, tourism, healthcare, and local areas, and make good use of platforms such as vocational education centers and Luban workshops to build a friendly public opinion foundation.

Nguima stated that the relationship between China and Gabon was created by the older generation of leaders of the two countries and is a sincere friendship like brothers. Gabon firmly adheres to the One China principle, supports the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind and the four global initiatives, regards China as a sincere and reliable preferred development partner, and is willing to deepen practical cooperation with China in mining, transportation, energy, fisheries, forestry, artificial intelligence and other fields, expand cultural exchanges such as youth training, and promote better development of Africa China relations.
