Hailing the fruitful results and valuable experience the forum has achieved since it was established 10 years ago, Huang called on Chinese and African media to play a significant role in deepening China-Africa friendship and enhancing people-to-people bonds.
He expressed the hope that the two sides would speed up practical cooperation and actively create an international public opinion atmosphere of cohesive development and collaboration.
