July 2 - The Chinese government will donate 600, 000 U.S. dollars to the African Union (AU), Chinese envoy1 and Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhai Jun has said.

 

Of the money, 300,000 dollars will be earmarked for supporting AU development and the rest for AU's peacekeeping mission in Somalia, said Zhai in his meeting Saturday with AU Commission Chairman Alpha Oumar Konare.

 

Zhai extended Chinese leaders' greeting to Konare and handed him a congratulation letter addressed by Chinese Premier2 Wen Jiabao to the ninth AU summit opening on Sunday.

 

Zhai spoke3 highly of the significant role the AU has played since it was set up five years ago in various aspects including the maintenance of Africa's peace and security and coordination4 of African countries' foreign affairs positions.

 

The Chinese government will continue to support the AU in playing a bigger role in regional and international affairs and will enhance the cooperation with AU in various fields.

 

Konare spoke highly of the friendly relations between China and AU and African countries, expressing gratitude5 to China's sincere and selfish supports and appreciation6 for China's active implementation7 of the decisions made at the Beijing Summit of the Forum8 on China-Africa Cooperation held in November last year.

 

The AU will spare no efforts to join China in promoting the traditional friendship and cooperation between China and Africa, Konare said.
