On July 29, President Xi Jinping sent a message to Carlos Nova to congratulate him on his re-election as President of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe.
Xi Jinping pointed out that in recent years, China-Sao Tome and Principe relations have developed at a good momentum. Political mutual trust between the two sides has continued to deepen. They have firmly supported each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns, and practical cooperation in various fields has achieved remarkable results.I attach great importance to the development of China-Sao Tome and Principe relations and am willing to work with President Nova to take the opportunity of implementing the outcomes of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to push the China-Sao Tome and Principe strategic partnership to a new level and better benefit the two peoples.
