On March 28, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Foreign Minister of the Republic of the Congo Jean-Claude Gakosso in Beijing.

Wang Yi said China and the Republic of the Congo have always understood, trusted and supported each other, and bilateral relations have become a model of China-Africa solidarity and cooperation. Under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and President Denis Sassou Nguesso, bilateral relations have maintained a momentum of vigorous development, which has brought tangible benefits to the two peoples and played an important role in the development and prosperity of Africa. The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) is the most important platform for China and Africa to achieve common development through solidarity and mutual assistance. With the support of African countries, the Republic of the Congo assumed the role of the African co-chair of the FOCAC last year. China is ready to work with the Republic of the Congo to actively implement the outcomes of the FOCAC Beijing Summit, particularly the ten partnership actions, and jointly prepare for the coordinators' meeting on the implementation of the follow-up actions of the ministerial conference of FOCAC to promote the high-quality development of China-Africa cooperation and send more positive signals to the world. Faced with an international situation full of changes and turmoil, China and African countries need to unite and cooperate more closely to safeguard the common interests of developing countries and promote world peace, stability and development.

Jean-Claude Gakosso said that China is a great country and a sincere friend and partner of the Republic of the Congo and all other African countries. The Republic of the Congo attaches great importance to the responsibilities of the co-chairmanship of the FOCAC and is willing to work closely with China to make good preparations for the coordinators' meeting on the implementation of the follow-up actions of the ministerial conference of FOCAC and China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, so as to achieve more results in Africa-China cooperation. The international situation is undergoing rapid changes. He expressed the belief that China, as an ancient civilization, has the wisdom to find solutions to the problems facing the world and play a more significant role in peace and stability in Africa.

The two sides also had an exchange of views on the current situation in Africa.
