China's Qin hails cooperation with Benin

The Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs visited Cotonou in Benin, a country in West Africa on Saturday, with the aim to strengthen economic and industrial ties between the two countries. Qin Gang's visit follows recent celebrations of 50 years of cooperation between the two countries.

Qin said his visit was to "identify more fields of action." The minister also visited the town of Glo-Djigbé to observe textile production. In December 2022, China and Benin celebrated the 50th anniversary of their bilateral cooperation.
