UN chief arrives in Beijing for 2024 FOCAC summit

United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived in Beijing from Shanghai on Tuesday evening for the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) scheduled for Sept 4 to 6.

This will be the second time Guterres is attending the FOCAC summit as a special guest, following his attendance at the 2018 summit in Beijing

Noting that African affairs have always been a top priority for the United Nations, Guterres said that China-Africa cooperation is an important measure for Africa's development, and also the core of South-South cooperation, aligning with the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union's Agenda 2063.

FOCAC will make important contributions to world peace and development, serving as an important global example, the UN chief said.
