China provided aid to 86 developing countries in the first 11
months this year, said the Commerce Ministry on Thursday.
The major projects included a national theater in Senegal, an
inner city road upgrade project in Kenya, a stadium in Mongolia and
a government building project in Guinea-Bissau.
Guided by the concept of "harmonious world" put forward by
President Hu Jintao in the UN Assembly, China made progress in
developing relations with world powers, neighbors, developing
countries and in its multilateral diplomacy in 2006.
"China's diplomacy has made great achievements in 2006," said Wu
Jianmin, president of the China Foreign Affairs University.
China saw frequent personnel exchanges with developing countries
and offered training to 6,305 foreign officials and technicians in
the first 11months, sending 78 young volunteers overseas.
