Continuing the Torch of Civilization through Mutual Learning and Appreciation "(High end Interview) - Interview with Former Namibian President Mbemba

The global civilization initiative proposed by China is full of wisdom and foresight, which is conducive to enhancing mutual understanding between countries, promoting cooperation and common development, "former Namibian President Mbemba said in an interview with our reporter recently." Only by deepening friendship and understanding can peace, stability and development be achieved. People of all countries have the right to live in peace and enjoy health, education and other benefits

Mbemba came to China in July this year to attend the Ministerial Conference on Global Dialogue of Civilizations, and gained a deeper understanding of cultural exchange and mutual learning. Dialogue among civilizations is an important path to promote the progress of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world. The Global Civilization Initiative advocates mutual respect and harmony among different civilizations, opposes the theory of clash of civilizations, emphasizes harmony in diversity, and can promote the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations as a powerful force for maintaining world peace. Countries should work together to continue the torch of civilization and create a better future through mutual learning and exchange

Mbemba has visited China multiple times, and the rapid changes in China have left a deep impression on him. In July this year, Mbumba went to Shanghai to visit, not only to experience the cultural depth and diverse charm of international metropolises, but also to visit Tesla Shanghai Super Factory to test drive new cars, experience the latest scientific and technological achievements in China in the "model speed space" large model innovative ecological community by the Huangpu River, visit the Phase IV automated terminal of Shanghai Port Yangshan, visit the Party Mass Service Center, and experience the vivid practice of Chinese path to modernization. As an old friend of the Chinese people, I am deeply moved by China's long history and culture, and I admire the speed of China's technological innovation and development. I hope to learn from China's national governance experience. Currently, China is moving towards the direction of coordinating the construction of a modern infrastructure system and a high standard market system, and steadily expanding institutional openness. The Namibian People's Organization Party admires the development achievements of the people led by the CPC, and is willing to strengthen inter party cooperation with China and carry out exchanges of experience in governance.

Mbemba stated that China has never colonized any country, and Namibia received strong support from China in its independence struggle. On the second day of Namibia's independence, diplomatic relations were established between Namibia and China. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, no matter how the international situation changes, both sides have always stood together and worked hand in hand. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the relationship between Namibia and China and cooperation in various fields have reached a new level. Namibia has long received support and assistance from China, and the government and people of Namibia will not forget it. "Mbemba said that although Namibia and China are different in size, they have always maintained friendship, unity, and cooperation, and have always respected and supported each other. Now, under the framework of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Namibia, both sides are promoting cooperation in various fields and achieving fruitful results.

During the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation held last year, China and Namibia signed a number of bilateral cooperation documents in the fields of sheep and goat meat export to China, development cooperation and other fields. Agricultural cooperation is a new highlight of deepening pragmatic cooperation between our two countries. The negotiations have progressed smoothly, and China has provided a lot of convenience, "said Mbemba. Namibia has a long history of growing crops such as grapes and dates, and these products can be sold to a vast consumer market like China, which will significantly increase the income of local farmers. Namibia will improve product quality through scientific means. We are full of enthusiasm to deliver good products to China
