South Sudan seeks to enhance win-win cooperation with China in order to strengthen reconstruction of the war-torn East African country, a senior official of the ruling party said.
The Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) spokesman Bol Makueng told Xinhua in a recent interview that South Sudan would look into China to learn how the Asian nation has transformed itself into a world power.
"The Chinese technology for developing rural areas is relevant to develop our rural areas in terms of how we can increase food productivity, how we can construct roads and bridges to access to rural areas, and how we can make our people to be committed to do things for themselves and for the country," he said.
Makueng hailed China's role in supporting peace and development efforts in South Sudan, adding that the government would seek closer engagement with Beijing in the areas of rural development, technology, infrastructure development through a win-win approach.
"We have found out that Chinese people are willing to support South Sudan in their programs, especially the reconstruction of the country, provision of roads, schools, health sector, agriculture and even technology because they have all these skills which we could be taking on a win-win basis," he said.
"A win-lose or a lose-win cooperation will never be attainable," said the spokesman.
"We will always cooperate, not only with China, but with other countries such that nobody is exploited and nobody is disadvantaged in the cooperation," Makueng noted.
The official, who represented South Sudan during the Second Africa-China Political Parties Theoretical Seminar in October 2016, also appreciated the Chinese Communist Party for offering help to African political parties.
"The Chinese Communist Party has availed us opportunities for training, learning Chinese Literature and visits to China. From there, what we see is good, we can take it, and what we feel are not good for our context, we leave it," Makueng said.
