(25 Dec 2018) 1. Rwanda's president made a comment on China-Africa cooperation. Your comment? Therefore, China-Africa cooperation has been sincerely welcomed by African countries and people and has been positively evaluated by the international community. This is an indisputable fact. As China has always emphasized that African countries and people have rights and also have the ability to choose their own partners. When the international community is engaged in Africa-related cooperation, we should listen more to each other's voices, believe in Africans' wisdom, respect the will of the African people, and do not make irresponsible remarks on China-Africa cooperation, the groundless sayings with political purpose, as you can see, are doomed to fail. 2. The French side expressed concerns over the two detained Canadians by China. Any update on this? Regarding the relevant situation of the Chinese authorities in detaining two Canadians according to law, the introduction we can make has already been introduced. You just mentioned the relevant statements of the French side. First of all, we must resolutely reject the relevant statements of the French side. Yesterday, when I answered the relevant questions, I made China's position very clear. The relevant Chinese authorities have detained relevant Canadian citizens suspected of endangering China's security according to law. The Canadian side illegally detained senior executives of Chinese enterprises at the request of the US. The nature is different. We hope that whether it is Canada or the French side you just mentioned, or other so-called allies, you must respect the independence of the Chinese judicial organs, and the power of China's judicial sovereignty. In fact, I think this logic is very strange. Why do French officials have to come out to speak for things in Canada? I feel that it is a very strange thing. The impression left by the Chinese people is very bad. It is France that cares only about Canadians and does not care about Chinese people. 3. The US pulls out troops out of Afghanistan. Your comment? The actions taken by the US must be decided by the Americans themselves. For China, our views on the situation in Afghanistan are consistent. We have always believed that military means cannot solve the Afghan issue. The promotion of the leadership of the Afghan and the political reconciliation process of all Afghan sides is the only realistic and feasible way. China has also played a constructive role in promoting the early realization of reconciliation and cooperation between the Afghan parties. We still hope that we can work together with all parties to promote the process of reconciliation and cooperation in Afghanistan, and so that the Afghan people can enjoy peace and development as soon as possible. We also believe in the stability, security and development of the situation in Afghanistan, for the whole area of South Asia is a good thing. Therefore, we hope that all parties will work together to promote the process of peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan.
