Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday wrapped up a visit to three West African countries worst hit by Ebola, saying China will cooperate with Africa in reducing poverty and realizing development after defeating the epidemic, Independent Online reported. China is ready to help Africa turn its abundant natural resources into economic strength and set up an independent industrial system through cooperation in production capacity, he said. China is capable of becoming a reliable cooperation partner for Africa. Wang said the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, which will hold its sixth ministerial meeting later this year, is likely to be upgraded to a summit, and will become a historic event for solidarity, cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results between China and Africa.
