Ever wondered how China and Nigeria can team up for a win-win future? 🌍 On October 31, in the buzzing city of Lagos, a special session of the "Innovation, Openness, Shared Development Global Dialogue" brought together about 300 game-changers—politicians, biz leaders, academics, and media pros from China and Nigeria.
In a video shoutout, CMG President Shen Haixiong highlighted a recent big leadership meeting in China (the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee), calling it a milestone in a new era. He promised even more high-level opening up and win-win partnerships. Looking back at China's 14th Five-Year Plan (its roadmap from 2021 to 2025), he pointed out that China's economy hit record highs and powered about 30% of global growth. 🚀
And there's more: a recent CGTN global survey found over 84% of respondents think China is rocking it, and 86.4% say it's a major force in global development. Under China's new development blueprint, the door is only swinging wider for shared opportunities. 🔓✨
During the dialogue, participants vibed on the theme "Building a Sustainable and Prosperous Future Together." They agreed that China and African nations should join forces through high-quality Belt and Road projects—think railways, ports, and digital highways—to drive green growth and sustainable vibes. 🌱🤝
For us, the next-gen crowd, this is more than geopolitics. It's about fresh chances for startups, tech hubs, and youth movements across South and Southeast Asia. From mobile apps to green innovations, there's a huge opportunity to plug into this growing network. Stay tuned, and let's see where this China-Nigeria collab takes us! 🚀✨
