On January 9, 2025, Chinese officials reiterated their commitment to enhancing exchanges with Chad, focusing on governance experience and political trust. The aim is to expand mutually beneficial cooperation to support Chad's development.
During discussions, it was noted that Chad's leader, Mahamat, made his first international visit to China after taking office last year, attending the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit in Beijing. This visit was marked by the elevation of bilateral relations to a strategic partnership.
Chinese officials emphasized that all nations, regardless of size or strength, are equal, reinforcing China's stance against hegemony and unilateralism in international relations.
