UN's Guterres says China-Africa ties can drive 'renewable energy revolution': Video
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has emphasised the potential of the China-Africa partnership to spearhead a "renewable energy revolution".
During the China-Africa forum which brings together over 50 African leaders, Guterres highlighted the partnership's ability to serve as a catalyst for major transitions in food systems, digital connectivity, and trade.
"The China-Africa partnership can drive the renewable energy revolution. It can be a catalyst for key transitions in food systems and digital connectivity. And as home to some of the world's most dynamic economies, Africa can maximise the potential of China's support in areas from trade to data management, finance and technology," Guterres was quoted in an AFP video.
He also praised China’s development record, noting its success in poverty eradication as a source of valuable experience for African nations.
