China has followed two principles - "treating others as equals and pursuing win-win cooperation," to maintain good and long relationship with Africa in a changing world, said Liu Guijin, special representative of the Chinese government on the Darfur issue, when giving an address at the Royal Institute of International Studies, a London-based think tank.
For more than half a century, the friendship and cooperation between China and African countries had been growing in a sound and smooth way, said Liu, who visited London on February 21-23 for talks with British officials on Darfur issue.
