Johannesburg, July 26th—Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, met here today with Gwen Ramokgopa, Treasurer-General of the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, on the sidelines of the 2025 Liberation Movements Summit.
Liu congratulated the successful holding of the Liberation Movements Summit in South Africa. He said, in the face of a complex and volatile international situation, it is more necessary for the political parties from the Global South countries, including the CPC and the Former Liberation Movements of Southern Africa, to strengthen unity and cooperation, jointly address global challenges, and promote the establishment of a more just and reasonable international order. The CPC values its friendly relations with the ANC and will continue to stand firmly with the ANC, implement the memorandum of understanding on exchanges and cooperation between the two Parties, deepen exchanges of experience in state governance and administration, and promote practical cooperation in agriculture, mining and real estate through the "political party +" channel to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
Ramokgopa said, the world is facing severe and complex challenges in geopolitics. The holding of the Liberation Movements Summit is conducive to uniting the progressive forces of the Global South, practicing true multilateralism, and maintaining international fairness and justice. South Africa firmly adheres to the one-China principle. The ANC attaches great importance to its brotherly relations with the CPC, appreciates the great development achievements made by the CPC in leading China and its positive contributions to promoting world development. The ANC hopes to further expand the depth and breadth of exchanges between the two Parties, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning in areas such as anti-corruption and state administration, enhance governance capabilities of both sides, and promote economic and trade investment cooperation between the two sides through inter-party channels, so as to promote the common development of the two countries.
