習近平指出，今年是中讚建交60週年。兩國老一輩領導人親手締造的中讚友誼歷經歲月洗禮，初心如磐，並不斷煥發蓬勃生機。去年我們共同宣佈將中讚關係提升為全面戰略合作夥伴關係。1年來，兩國互信持續提升，互利合作成果豐碩，中讚經貿年、文化和旅遊年活動豐富。雙方要以此次峰會為契機，攜手推進各自國家現代化，為中讚友好關係新甲子開好頭、譜新篇。

習近平強調，雙方要繼續密切各層級交往，加強交流互鑒，深化政治互信，堅定相互支援，擴大務實合作，加強國際協作。中方願同讚方共用發展機遇，鼓勵更多企業積極參與尚比亞新能源、水資源開發、電力等領域合作，助力尚比亞和非洲工業化現代化進程。尚比亞在2000年中非合作論壇成立時發揮了重要作用。中方願同包括尚比亞在內的非方一道，推動此次峰會取得圓滿成功，為中讚、中非關係注入新動力。

Xi meets Zambian president

BEIJING, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday met with Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, who is in Beijing for the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Zambia.

Xi highlighted the elevation of China-Zambia relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in 2023, and said that mutual trust between the two countries has continued to deepen and fruitful results have been achieved in mutually beneficial cooperation over the past year.

Both sides should take this summit as an opportunity to jointly promote their respective modernization and usher in a new chapter of friendly China-Zambia relations, Xi said.

China stands ready to share development opportunities with Zambia, encourage more enterprises to actively participate in cooperation with Zambia in areas such as new energy, water resource development and electricity, and contribute to the industrialization process in Zambia and Africa.

Hichilema said he is pleased to have jointly witnessed the revitalizing of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway with President Xi, thereby carrying forward the friendship forged by the two countries' older generation of leaders and creating a new passageway for China-Africa connectivity.

Zambia is committed to deepening its comprehensive cooperation with China and continuously advancing the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, Hichilema said, adding that Zambia welcomes more Chinese enterprises to invest in the country.

He said the Zambian side appreciates the outstanding leadership China has demonstrated in international affairs, and is ready to enhance multilateral coordination with China. ■
