Chinese Consul General in Durban, Li Zhigong: 2024 is milestone year for China-South African relations

This was stated during a gala dinner held in Durban, South Africa, in honour of the Chinese New Year

The Chinese Consul General in Durban, Li Zhigong, expressed his intention to strengthen the longstanding ties between China and the province of KwaZulu-Natal. According to him, this will represent a new "golden era" in the history of bilateral relations. This is reported by Pretoria News, a partner of TV BRICS.

Li delivered his speech during a festive dinner in Durban organised to celebrate the Chinese New Year, marking the start of the Year of the Snake (2025).

“2024 is also a milestone year for China-South African relations.
