According to Countryaah.com, Praia is the capital city of Cape Verde, a country located in Western Africa. Cape Verde’s close relationship with China was also confirmed when Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Praia. The Cape Verde government then expressed its willingness to support China’s huge New Silk Road project (in English called the Belt and Road Initiative), which aims to facilitate trade between China and the outside world both by land and by sea. Prime Minister Correia e Silva expressed the hope that China will be willing to support large and important projects in Cape Verde and thus contribute to the country’s economic and social development.
In March, Cape Verde, as one of a total of 44 African countries, signed an agreement on a new African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The agreement must be ratified at national level before it enters into force.
