Xi Jinping pointed out that the China-Mali friendship was personally forged by the elder generation of leaders of the two countries. Sixty years ago, the two sides issued a joint communique, which for the first time included China’s eight principles in foreign aid, advocating respect for national sovereignty, development of an independent economy and non-interference in internal affairs. These principles not only serve as a guide for the long-term friendly cooperation between China and Mali, but also set the tone for China-Africa cooperation in promoting the establishment of a new international order. [Mali, under the leadership of socialist President Modibo Keïta, established diplomatic relations with China on October 25 1960, shortly after winning independence from French colonial rule on September 22 that year. The Eight Principles to govern China’s foreign economic and technical assistance were put forward by Premier Zhou Enlai in Mali in early 1964 during his December 1963-February 1964 visit to 10 African countries. They are:
China always bases itself on the principle of equality and mutual benefit in providing aid to other nations.
China never attaches any conditions or asks for any privileges.
China helps lighten the burden of recipient countries as much as possible.
China aims at helping recipient countries to gradually achieve self-reliance and independent development.
China strives to develop aid projects that require less investment but yield quicker results.
China provides the best-quality equipment and materials of its own manufacture.
In providing technical assistance, China shall see to it that the personnel of the recipient country fully master such techniques.
The Chinese experts are not allowed to make any special demands or enjoy any special amenities.]
