Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi meets with African diplomatic envoys and celebrates Africa Day together in Beijing, capital of China.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday met with African diplomatic envoys in China and celebrated Africa Day together in Beijing.
Ambassadors or charge d'affaires of more than 50 African countries to China and representatives of the African Union in China attended the meeting.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said since entering the new era, President Xi Jinping has visited Africa five times and put forward the principle of China's Africa policy – sincerity, real results, amity and good faith, and the principle of pursuing the greater good and shared interests, as well as the spirit of China-Africa friendship and cooperation, raising China's bilateral relations with all African countries to the level of strategic relations.
The overall positioning of China-Africa relations has also been upgraded to an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era, and China's relations with Africa have entered the best period in history, Wang added.
At the Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) held in Beijing last September, President Xi put forward six proposals and 10 partnership actions for jointly advancing modernisation.

Need to develop skills for digitally driven future in Nelson Mandela Bay
It was estimated as far back as 2017 that 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 have not even been invented yet. The clock is ticking towards 2030 — are we prepared with the skills to fill new digitally driven jobs for which we don't even have job descriptions yet, in industries that don't exist yet? We already know that SA has a severe shortage of high-level technical skills, particularly in IT-related and engineering fields. The extent of the skills mismatch has been estimated at 50% — in other words, half of work-seekers don't have the skills needed in today's job market. The challenge of preparing for a job that doesn't yet exist is heightened by the rapid pace of digital disruption. The reality is that a student who entered a degree programme this year in engineering, for example, may not have the skills needed in industry when they graduate in four years' time. This is not to say that the tertiary qualification in which the graduate invested serves no purpose. They will be schooled in the science and principles of the discipline they plan to enter and will have been exposed to workplace learning experiences and industry experts. However, they may lack the hands-on technical skills required in a job that has developed faster than curriculum development in the education system can keep pace with. The report by the Institute for the Future and Dell Technologies referred to in the introduction forecasts that the rapid pace of change means employees of the future will be continuously exposed to skills training and retraining, not in the institutional sense as we know it, but real time, 'in the moment' learning driven by technologies such as virtual reality and tailored AI-assisted content. The ability to learn and acquire new knowledge will be more valuable than the knowledge itself, the report says. While a tertiary qualification provides an essential foundation, we see the future in industry-led skills development, where companies and industry bodies collaborate in developing the real time on-the-job training that develops the skills they need to keep pace with rapidly advancing production technology. It makes no sense that industry regularly reports struggling to fill vacancies for technically skilled positions, while we have an unemployment crisis and a particularly severe youth unemployment rate of over 50%. The Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, our partner in the Business Chamber Skills Desk, points out that despite economic growth over the past 16 years, there are fewer young people employed now than there were in 2008. The availability of an appropriately skilled talent pool is a key factor for new investors, and we need to be attracting new investment to drive job creation. Beyond investment to drive economic growth, we need youth-specific interventions and demand-led skills development if we are to fill the gaps in critical skills shortages and the mismatch between qualifications and industry needs. It has thus been exciting to see the rollout over the past few weeks of one of the first initiatives of the Skills Development Desk to support industry-led skills development. The business chamber is managing the Eastern Cape Youth Empowerment Programme which is training 50 unemployed youth as digital process technicians — a job that did not exist a year ago. The initiative is supported by auto manufacturer Stellantis, which is developing a new assembly plant at Coega and will be establishing the very jobs that these new skills will be trained to fill in an increasingly digital and automated global manufacturing sector. Industrial automation specialists Jendamark are providing the training on their cutting-edge automation technology, and the participants are now in their fourth week of hands-on training in the year-long programme. The training in virtual systems maintenance is complemented by mentorship and the chamber's Entrepreneurship Desk is supporting the development of entrepreneurial skills, as well as the 'soft skills' that are essential in industry alongside technical skills — qualities such as adaptability, working collaboratively, leadership and emotional intelligence. The critical end goal is employment, and a number of local manufacturers have signed on to recruit the participants for workplace experience once they have completed their training. This is the kind of partnership we need to drive meaningful change and equip young people with in-demand skills and direct access to the job market. It's a first of its kind, and we plan for it to be the first of many as we upskill people to meet the investment potential of the Bay of Opportunity. Denise van Huyssteen is chief executive officer of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber The Herald

Trump says 'extremely hard' to do deal with Xi as steel tariffs double
USA - US President Donald Trump said Wednesday it was "extremely hard" to reach a deal with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, as he ramped up his global trade war by doubling tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. The comments and higher levies came as OECD ministers gathered to discuss the outlook for the world economy in light of the US hardball approach to trade that has rattled world markets. Trump's sweeping tariffs on allies and adversaries have strained ties with trading partners and sparked a flurry of negotiations to avoid the duties. The White House has suggested the president will speak to Xi this week, raising hopes they can soothe tensions and speed up a trade deal between the world's two biggest economies. However, in the early hours of Wednesday, Trump appeared to dampen hopes for a quick deal. "I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!" he posted on his Truth Social platform. China was the main target of Trump's April 2 tariff blitz, hit with levies of 145 percent on its goods and triggering tit-for-tat tariffs of 125 percent on US goods. Both sides agreed to temporarily de-escalate in May, after the US president delayed most sweeping measures on other countries until July 9. His latest remarks came hours after his tolls on aluminium and steel were doubled from 25 percent to 50 percent, raising temperatures with various partners. The Paris-based Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a 38-nation grouping of mostly developed countries, cut its global growth forecast on the back of Trump's levies, as ministers of the group held a meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. Trade, consumption and investment have been affected by the tariffs, OECD chief economist Alvaro Pereira earlier told AFP and warned that the US economy will suffer the most. - Appeals process - While some of Trump's most sweeping levies face legal challenges, they have been allowed to remain in place for now as an appeals process takes place. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and EU trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic are set to hold talks on the sidelines of the gathering, with the bloc seeking to stave off higher levies ahead of the July 9 deadline. With the latest US tolls on steel and aluminium kicking in, the European Union said it "strongly regrets" the decision to double the levies, cautioning that it "undermines ongoing efforts to reach a negotiated solution" with the United States and warning it was ready to retaliate. French trade minister Laurent Saint-Martin added: "We have to keep our cool and always show that the introduction of these tariffs is in no one's interest." Canada, the largest supplier of the metals to the United States, has called Trump's tariffs "illegal and unjustified". After talks between UK Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and Greer on Tuesday, London said imports from the UK would remain at 25 percent for now. Both sides needed to work out duties and quotas in line with the terms of a recently signed trade pact. "We're pleased that as a result of our agreement with the US, UK steel will not be subject to these additional tariffs," a British government spokesperson said. The Group of Seven advanced economies - Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States - is due to hold separate talks on trade Wednesday. "We need to come up with negotiated solutions as quickly as possible, because time is running out," German economy minister Katherina Reiche said Tuesday, on the sidelines of the OECD. Mexico will request an exemption from the higher tariff, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said, arguing that it was unfair because the United States exports more steel to its southern neighbour than it imports. "It makes no sense to put a tariff on a product in which you have a surplus," Ebrard said. Mexico is highly vulnerable to Trump's trade wars because 80 percent of its exports go to the United States, its main partner. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Tuesday that the Trump administration sent letters to governments pushing for offers by Wednesday as the July 9 deadline approached.
