China to provide financial support to Africans
Following General Muhoozi kainerugaba’s tweets, H.E Zheng Zhuqiang has personally responded, acknowledging Uganda’s brotherhood with China and highlighting measures that have been put in place to normalize the situation in Guangdong city where the attacks on Africans happened.
“It is with profound appreciation that I read some of your tweets on Monday, April 20, 2020, in which you commended passionately that China is a historical and reliable friend of Africa ever since the great Chairman Mao led the Chinese Communist Party to victory in 1949!”, the Ambassador noted in a letter to Gen Kainerugaba which has been seen by the Kampala Post.
“Those warm remarks from a Ugandan comrade are a true demonstration of our brotherhood and friendship that were born and nourished from the history, and battle that we fought shoulder by shoulder against colonialism, which China also cherishes so much at the bottom of our heart,” said Ambassador Zhuqiang adding that: “Indeed, China and Africa have been good comrades and brothers sharing weal and woe for a long time, holding each other so closely and dearly to the heart!”
H.E Zhuqiang says that authorities in Guangdong have taken swift measures to address relevant concerns that resulted from the conduct of some individual conducts and conduct.
Some of the measures include stopping any restriction or denial to African nationals access to public facilities and services such as hotels, shopping centers, apartments, and residential areas among others.
China has also pledged to provide financial support to Africans in need, handle the humanitarian need of affected Africans as a matter of priority and deal with their ‘illegality issue’ (overstaying visa and related matters) at a later stage.
