On June 12, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Mozambican Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Maria Manuela dos Santos Lucas in Changsha.

Wang Yi said that this year marks the 50th anniversary of Mozambique's independence and the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Over the past half century, both sides have firmly supported each other's core interests, and the outcomes of cooperation have benefited the people of both countries, writing a vivid chapter in China-Mozambique friendship. Looking ahead, China is ready to work with Mozambique to uphold the original aspiration, deepen the China-Mozambique comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, enhance strategic coordination, firmly support each other, and jointly usher in the next more glorious 50 years of bilateral relations. China appreciates Mozambique's commitment to the one-China principle and is ready to assist Mozambique in accelerating its industrialization and modernization process, and will continue sending medical experts to Mozambique.

Wang Yi stated that the current international situation is characterized by changes and chaos. The United States prioritizes its own interests, withdraws from international treaties and organizations, and indiscriminately imposes tariff hikes and unilateral sanctions, which is not commensurate with the behaviors of a responsible major country. China upholds win-win cooperation and remains a true friend and partner of Africa. China welcomes support and assistance to Africa from all parties, rather than using Africa for bloc confrontation or seeking geopolitical interests. China is ready to work with African partners to jointly uphold the basic norms governing international relations and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries. China will effectively implement the outcomes of the Beijing Summit, act on the Changsha Declaration, and help Africa accelerate realizing development and revitalization.

Maria Manuela dos Santos Lucas expressed her congratulations on the complete success of this Ministerial Meeting of Coordinators and extended her heartfelt gratitude to President Xi Jinping for announcing new measures to further support Africa's development. The friendship between Mozambique and China has a long history, with both sides trusting each other and being as close as family. She thanked China for its support in Mozambique's independence and liberation, national development, and health sector, and for standing firmly with Mozambique during the country's difficult times. The relationship between the two countries is historic and strategic. Mozambique reiterated its commitment to the one-China principle and its firm support for China in safeguarding territorial sovereignty and integrity. This is important not only for China but for all African countries as well. Mozambique appreciates China's countermeasures against unilateral tariff hikes, which sends a strong voice on behalf of the Global South. Mozambique is willing to strengthen cooperation with China on international and multilateral affairs.
