The « Innovation, Openness, and Shared Development » Global Dialogue, hosted by China Media Group (CMG), took place in Lagos, Nigeria, on Friday.

The event convened senior representatives from China and Nigeria’s political, economic, cultural, academic, and media sectors to exchange perspectives on China’s high-level opening up and fostering shared global prosperity.

A vibrant forum hosted by China Media Group at the University of Johannesburg today brought together voices from across sectors to explore innovation, youth empowerment, and media collaboration. The discussions gained added momentum following the adoption of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee—a strategic blueprint for high-quality development and deeper global engagement. Participants viewed this as a timely opportunity to strengthen China-Africa cooperation. A key highlight was the release of a sustainability report on Chinese enterprises overseas, showcasing their commitments to green growth and social responsibility.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has extended congratulations to China Agricultural University (CAU) faculty, students and alumni on the university’s 120th founding anniversary, calling on it to cultivate more professionals with expertise and passion for agriculture.

In a reply letter to its faculty and students, Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, urged the CAU to make new contributions to building up China’s strength in agriculture and advancing Chinese modernization.

Xi urged the university to deepen educational reforms and boost agricultural sci-tech innovation and application of research outcomes.

CAU faculty and students recently wrote to Xi, expressing their resolve to develop their university into a world-class university and to strive for building a strong China and national rejuvenation.
