China welcomes Guinea-Bissau's high-quality agricultural products to enter the Chinese market and encourages Chinese enterprises to invest and cooperate in Guinea-Bissau to help Guinea-Bissau transform its resource potential into development momentum. China is willing to continue to provide support within its capacity for Guinea-Bissau's domestic construction and continue to send rice technology experts and medical teams to help Guinea-Bissau ensure food security and develop public health undertakings. The two sides should strengthen exchanges and cooperation in education, youth, and other fields to promote mutual understanding between the two peoples. China will continue to provide government scholarships and training opportunities to help Guinea-Bissau cultivate more talents needed for national development. Xi Jinping pointed out that both China and Africa have splendid civilizations, and both have a painful history of being colonized and invaded, and both cherish and pursue national independence and liberation. The support and assistance between China and African countries are sincere, and are a model of true and sincere friendship, brotherhood, and solidarity and cooperation among developing countries. Under the new situation, we should join hands to create a new era. The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation is an important platform for the Chinese and African peoples to practice the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and promote common development. Two weeks ago, we solemnly held a commemorative event in Beijing for the 70th anniversary of the promulgation of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

President Embaló stated that from the moment I and my delegation arrived, we deeply felt the sincere friendship of the Chinese people towards their African brothers. The relationship between Guinea-Bissau and China is good and solid, and both sides have always firmly supported each other. When Guinea-Bissau encountered difficulties, China always unhesitatingly provided valuable support, which the people of Guinea-Bissau will never forget. We will, as always, stand firmly with China, firmly adhere to the One-China principle, and firmly support China's position on core interests such as Taiwan. Guinea-Bissau admires China's great development achievements, regards China as its top diplomatic priority and most important cooperation partner, and hopes to learn from China's development concepts and experiences, and strengthen cooperation in economic and trade investment, infrastructure, mineral energy, and other fields to help national development. China never engages in colonialism, never interferes in other countries' internal affairs, never dictates to other countries, always treats small countries equally and with respect, and always walks the talk and matches its words with deeds. What China brings to African countries are cooperation projects such as schools, hospitals, and roads that benefit the African people. Guinea-Bissau highly appreciates China's important role and positive contributions to helping the development of the African continent and actively supports China in holding a new FOCAC summit. Guinea-Bissau supports President Xi Jinping's initiatives of jointly building the Belt and Road, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, and is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China in multilateral affairs to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that reform is an important magic weapon for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has comprehensively deployed and systematically promoted agricultural and rural reforms. Some long-standing institutional and mechanism obstacles restricting agricultural and rural development have been gradually resolved, further unleashing and developing rural social productive forces and enhancing the vitality of agricultural and rural development. Today, the vast rural areas are showing a thriving new look. In the midsummer, on both sides of "Reform Avenue" in Xiaogang Village, Anhui, more than 50 varieties of rice in over 200 mu of experimental fields are growing vigorously, nurturing the hope of a golden autumn harvest. In April 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Xiaogang Village, Anhui, the main birthplace of rural reform. Here, he presided over a rural reform symposium of special significance. At the meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "To improve the basic rural management system, we must conform to the farmers' wishes to retain their land contractual rights and transfer their land management rights. We should separate land contractual rights and management rights, allowing them to operate in parallel. This is another major institutional innovation in rural reform." Four months later, the 27th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform reviewed and approved the "Opinions on Improving the Separation of Ownership Rights, Contractual Rights, and Management Rights of Rural Land," and the reform of "separation of three rights" for land was fully rolled out nationwide. Subsequently, the policy of "extending the second round of land contracts by 30 years after their expiration" proposed in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further stabilized land contracting relations, providing a "long-term reassurance" for the majority of contractors. Today, the path of China's rural reform continues to extend in Xiaogang Village. The area of land transferred in Xiaogang Village exceeds 70%. Beidahuang Group from Northeast China settled in Xiaogang Village in 2018, building a 500-mu modern planting base, which is helping Xiaogang Village transform from traditional agriculture to smart agriculture. Looking at the whole country, a series of rural reforms with land system reform as the main line have been fully launched and continuously deepened, building the main framework for agricultural and rural development. Among the 60 specific tasks and 336 reform measures for comprehensively deepening reform adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, rural reforms accounted for one-sixth. From deepening rural land system reform to building a new agricultural management system, from thoroughly promoting rural collective property rights system reform to promoting agricultural support and protection system reform, General Secretary Xi Jinping has steered the direction for rural reform. He emphasized that every rural reform must pay attention to fully mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of farmers, maximizing the protection of farmers' various rights and interests, and increasing farmers' income through multiple channels. One step leads to overall revitalization. Relaxing land management rights has laid the foundation for developing appropriately scaled agricultural operations. A series of opinions aimed at solving the dilemma of "small farmers in a large country" and promoting and regulating the development of family farms, farmers' cooperatives, and agricultural socialized services have been successively issued, helping small farmers organically connect with modern agricultural development. To enhance the agricultural risk resistance, the reform of "three subsidies in one" (direct grain subsidies, crop improved seed subsidies, and comprehensive agricultural material subsidies) has been fully implemented; the agricultural product price formation mechanism has been continuously improved, fully mobilizing farmers' enthusiasm for grain cultivation; a multi-level agricultural risk protection system provides "shelter from wind and rain" for farmers. As the reform enters deep waters, facing complexity, specificity, and uncertainty, China has successively established 65 rural reform experimental zones, including collective forest tenure system reform and farmland water conservancy facility property rights system reform, and many "hard nut to crack" reform explorations have been carried out in the experimental zones. Embarking on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, the focus of "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" work has undergone a historic shift, and the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy has become the overall抓手 for "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" work in the new era. Anchoring the goal of building a strong agricultural country, a series of reform measures to accelerate the补齐 of rural development and livelihood shortcomings have been successively introduced, effectively and efficiently promoting comprehensive rural revitalization. Today's China, "reform" has revitalized the land. At present, the national land management right transfer area has exceeded 570 million mu, and there are more than 1.07 million operating entities providing agricultural socialized services, serving more than 91 million small households. China's comprehensive agricultural production capacity has steadily improved, the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress has exceeded 63%, the proportion of self-bred crop varieties has exceeded 95%, and grain output has remained stable above 1.3 trillion catties for 9 consecutive years. The rice bowls of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people are firmly in their own hands. Today's China, the phased tasks of rural collective property rights system reform have been basically completed, and the Rural Collective Economic Organizations Law has been officially promulgated. 6.55 billion mu of collective land resources and 9.14 trillion yuan of collective assets have been "registered," confirming approximately 900 million members, and farmers' sense of gain and happiness are full. In Shiying Village, Anji, Zhejiang, the local area has increased infrastructure construction through the form of village water resources entering shares, rectified all river channels, and fully developed and utilized two village collective mountain ponds and reservoirs, linking the interests of the village collective, villagers, and enterprises, and embarking on a characteristic path of water cultural tourism development, achieving a collective economic income of 3.06 million yuan. Today's China, rural industries are prosperous, and the living environment has significantly improved. More than 90,000 national-level leading agricultural industrialization enterprises at or above the county level have been cultivated. Rural infrastructure construction has upgraded from basic "access to roads, water, and electricity" to "hardened roads entering villages, fiber optic to households, and express delivery to homes." 74.5% of villages have e-commerce delivery stations, and rural public charging infrastructure construction has grown from scratch. Urban resources are accelerating their flow to rural areas, and a series of explorations such as medical communities and school alliances are benefiting more rural areas with public service systems. Only reformers advance, only innovators are strong. In the new era and on the new journey, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, hundreds of millions of Chinese farmers are gathering stronger forces to accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and strive to paint a magnificent picture of rural revitalization featuring "flourishing industries, pleasant living environment, civilized rural customs, effective governance, and prosperous life" on the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country!
