Source: China will help Zimbabwe to industrialise and modernise’ – The StandardChinese ambassador to Zimbabwe Zhou Ding on Friday officiated at the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in Harare. First of all, please allow me to extend my appreciation to the CIUZ choir for their beautiful rendition of the national anthems of both China and Zimbabwe. President Xi Jinping has put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, along with the Global Governance Initiative proposed not long ago. With crucial political and military support from China and other nations, Zimbabwe ultimately achieved its hard-won independence. As an all-weather friend, China firmly stands in solidarity with Zimbabwe.
