The two-day High-Level meeting held in Dar Es Salaam, the United Republic of Tanzania was a ‘Thematic Event’ attracting the participation of hundreds of political parties converged to foster unity, discuss the progress and challenges common to African Political Parties, and strengthen China-Africa relations for the enhancement of mutual interests.
Presenting a statement on behalf of the governing Coalition for Democratic Change, party Chairman Mulbah K. Morlu, utilized the global stage to commend the ideological, practical and leadership vision of the President of the People’s Republic of China for leading his country through a period of great reform and economic rejuvenation.
Morlu praised the success of the economic development module of the Chinese people under President Xi Jinping, which is based on the development of ‘The wellbeing of the people’.
Accordingly, the Chairman argued that the forum being held under the theme ‘The theory and practice of the exploration of development paths suited to national conditions’, presented a suited opportunity for African countries to reevaluate their module of development and, where necessary readjust to people priorities in their respective countries.
While appreciating the government and people of the People’s Republic of China for its kind development support to the government of His Excellency, President George M. Weah, Chairman Morlu called on African political parties to adopt the module of economic development that puts people and their wellbeing first.
He admonished African leaders to continue to prioritize the development needs of their respective countries and avoid national development programs that do not necessarily address the needs of the people.
He used Liberia as an emerging example of good African leadership, attributing the huge public support that is being enjoyed by President Weah’s ‘Pro Poor’ development goals as traceable testament to his prioritization of the needs of the people.
Addressing the high-level dialogue, which was opened and launched by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, H.E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli, Chairman Morlu made the case for China’s continuance of support to the people-centered government of President George M. Weah.
The Chairman, accompanied by Vice Chairman Sidiki Fofana and Deputy Secretary Ronald Mendscole, reiterated the importance of sustainable international support for the young government of President Weah.
Narrating the success of the forum, the CDC-Delegation presented to the body of over hundred political parties assembled that, the huge steps President Weah has taken to drive Liberia through vital economic, infrastructural and political reform, buttress the need for the continuation of said support.
During his deliberation, Chairman Morlu also highlighted efforts of the government of President Weah for his vast road-connectivity programs that will improve migration and trade in the Mano River basin, as he strategizes to create jobs for young men and women, build decent housing facilities for underprivileged citizens, and increase the economic potential of the ordinary people.
The CDC delegation head reminded African leaders of the ‘Great PATRIOT’ President Weah has proven to be over the last three decades, even before his election as President; assuring the converged leaders that the President has made great advances in opening-up Liberia for business to the African continent and the comity of nations without exception.
He encouraged African nations and business partners to take advantage of the accountable policies of the Liberian leader to invest in the country, explore its unique natural features, which are rich for tourism, and enjoy the great reception of the friendly people of Liberia.
