The long-standing relations of China and Africa would continue further as Africa sees China as a strategic partner that shares similar historical background and common interests with the continent, said the Deputy Chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission Kwesi Quartey. The deputy chairperson made the remarks on Tuesday during the handing over ceremony of China's donations of medical supplies to the AU, displaying its continued solidarity and support to the continent's battle against COVID-19. Amid the spread of the coronavirus in Africa, the Chinese government and companies have been expressing their solidarity and support to Africans in the fight against the pandemic, by continually donating medical equipment and supplies that are badly needed on the continent.
