Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 21. On April 19, President Xi Jinping called Bris Klothel Oligi Nguema to congratulate him on his election as President of the Republic of Gabon.

Xi Jinping pointed out that China is traditionally friendly with Gabon. In recent years, the two countries have continued to deepen their political mutual trust, and cooperation in various fields has achieved fruitful results, and they have firmly supported each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns. I attach great importance to the development of China-Canada relations and am willing to work together with Nguyma's election as president, and take the opportunity of implementing the achievements of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to promote the deepening and practical comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries and better benefit the people of both countries.
