China's zero-tariff policy demonstrates its responsiveness to concerns about its partnership with Africa, particularly in international trade. African countries should seek to maximise the potential gains from the new policy, writes Efem Ubi @PapaFemo.

Xi Jinping:

"At all times, we must take the people's heart as our own, consider the interests of the world as our own, and strive unremittingly to enhance the well-being of the people."

China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries and firmly opposes any erroneous words and actions that interfere in China's internal affairs, infringe upon China's core interests, violate international law and the basic norms of international relations, or undermine regional peace and stability, Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said on Monday in response to inquiries that some believe China's recent tough stance toward Japan influenced the outcome of Japan's general election.

Lin emphasized that China's policy toward Japan is clear, consistent, and continuous. Regardless of who leads Japan or which party is in power, they must abide by the four political documents between China and Japan, as well as Japan's pacifist constitution, and fulfill their commitments and international obligations, Lin said. https://t.co/rYtlnl1Rij

China’s policy toward Japan is clear. Whichever leader or political party is in power in Japan, they must abide by the four political documents between China and Japan and the pacifist Constitution, and honor Japan’s commitments and international obligations.

US action towards Venezuela is totally wrong. It is definitely an act of aggression and disrespect for Venezuelan sovereignty and territorial integrity.

☝️“Under what pretext did they bomb Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, and Libya? Were there Security Council sanctions? No. They simply decided to do it and did it. That's all there is to international law: they do whatever they want.” - President Putin

🔴 #China is deeply shocked by and strongly condemns the #US’s blatant use of force against a sovereign state and action against its president. Such hegemonic acts of the U.S. seriously violate international law and #Venezuela 's sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China firmly opposes it. We call on the U.S. to abide by international law and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and stop violating other countries’ sovereignty and security.

NIGERIA-UNITED STATES SECURITY COOPERATION AND INTELLIGENCE COLLABORATION HITS AT TERRORIST TARGETS IN NIGERIA

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria confirms that Nigerian authorities remain engaged in structured security cooperation with international partners, including the United States of America, in addressing the persistent threat of terrorism and violent extremism. This has led to precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes in the North West.

In line with established international practice and bilateral understandings, this cooperation includes the exchange of intelligence, strategic coordination, and other forms of support consistent with international law, mutual respect for sovereignty, and shared commitments to regional and global security.

Nigeria reiterates that all counter-terrorism efforts are guided by the primacy of protecting civilian lives, safeguarding national unity, and upholding the rights and dignity of all citizens, irrespective of faith or ethnicity. Terrorist violence in any form whether directed at Christians, Muslims, or other communities remains an affront to Nigeria's values and to international peace and security.

The Federal Government continues to work closely with its partners through established diplomatic and security channels to weaken terrorist networks, disrupt their financing and logistics, and prevent cross-border threats, while strengthening Nigeria's own security institutions and intelligence capabilities.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to engage relevant partners and keep the public informed through appropriate official channels.

The relationship between the United States (U.S.) and Africa has been a subject of considerable debate, with questions about whether it is driven by genuine strategic interests or merely rhetorical commitments.

“Unlike in the Cold War, greater conflict between the two biggest powers today will not lead to bipolarity; rather, it will make it easier for others to catch up,” argued Odd Arne Westad in a 2019 essay.
