Chapter 980 Cooperation with Somalia
The African issue is also a hot topic discussed in the meeting during this period.
Up to now, there are already twelve countries in Africa that have experienced wars, and the social order has completely collapsed.
All conflicts are constantly being detonated.
The conflicts between tribes, between political parties, between warlords, and between religions are constantly being detonated.
Although there are no advanced weapons and equipment in the wars in African countries, some countries where wars have occurred do not even have air forces. Those with air forces even use first-generation jet aircraft, and second-generation fighters are extremely rare.
However, the wars in African countries are all soldiers, and the weapons are called multinational brands. Even weapons from World War I and World War II appear in African countries.
Weapons such as the Type 38 rifle, the Hanyang rifle, the Type 99 rifle, and the Zhongzheng rifle are not uncommon in wars in African countries.
After all, these weapons, although backward, can also kill people.
Now in these African countries where wars have occurred, a war may break out because of water sources, and a war may be fought over a mine.
Here, the forces are complicated and there are many contradictions, and the war is easily started.
Somalia is the only country that has ended the war and achieved unification. Seres led the coalition forces to defeat various warlords and finally unified Somalia.
At this time, Qin Huasun was eating and chatting with the Somali representative ‘Rial’.
The channels of communication between the two sides have always been smooth.
Rial was sent here to work this year to help Somalia win international support.
Although Rial was appointed this year, he actually worked here three years ago. He has been working here since 1990 until he was recalled to Somalia three years ago.
Rial can speak English, French, Arabic, and Chinese, and is a very rare diplomatic talent in Somalia.
It is also because of this that although the camps are different, Rial is still valued.
Rial speaks fluent Mandarin. Now Somalia has just completed its unification. The war destroyed everything in Somalia. Now Somalia can be said to be a ruin, and everything needs to be rebuilt.
The horror of war can only be known by those who have experienced it.
The newly unified Somalia has only about 5 million people in the country, which is even less than the population of Somalia in 1980.
To build Somalia, funds are needed, and Somalia needs to find a way to raise funds for post-war reconstruction.
And China is undoubtedly the best choice.
Both sides have great room for cooperation in politics, economy, military and culture.
Somalia needs post-war reconstruction funds, international support, further military construction and military combat effectiveness to resist possible military threats from Europe and the United States, and also needs to send students abroad to study.
In Seres, various warlords in Somalia were eliminated, and the unification of Somalia was announced, and the Republic of Somalia was established.
Seres emphasized that only socialism can save Somalia, and only socialism can develop Somalia. Give him 30 years, and he will give Somalia a strong Somalia.
But Seres also knows that without external support and funds, Somalia will still face great difficulties.
Qin Huasun listened carefully. He naturally knew something about the situation in Somalia.
Somalia, which had just ended the war and completed the unification, made Africa have another socialist country. Now Somalia, like other countries that had just ended the war, was in ruins and needed to rebuild its homeland in the ruins of war.
If it only relied on internal efforts to build, economic development would actually be slow.
Qin Huasun did not give a clear answer to Somalia's request for a low-interest loan of US$1 billion or RMB 4 billion or even an interest-free loan.
However, Qin Huasun agreed to Somalia's request to give Somalia some places to study abroad.
In fact, it was not only Qin Huasun who was communicating with Rial, but Liu Tao, who was far away in Hong Kong, was also entertaining Ceres.
This time, Ceres led a delegation to start a foreign affairs visit, and the first stop was China.
The delegation will take the high-speed rail from Hong Kong and arrive in Beijing along the Beijing-Kowloon Line.
Compared with Qin Huasun and Rial's exchanges, the friendly relations between the two sides, socialist brother countries, socialist international spirit and the like, Liu Tao and his team talked about real interests.
Liu Tao entertained Ceres and others in a rooftop restaurant of a building. This building is called "Global Building". It is now the tallest building in Hong Kong. It is located on the Kowloon Peninsula. It is a comprehensive building with a total height of 484 meters and a total number of floors of 118 meters.
In this rooftop restaurant, you can see the prosperous Victoria Harbour, the prosperous Central of Hong Kong Island opposite Victoria, and the prosperous Kowloon Peninsula.
This is a high-end restaurant. There are always many people coming to dine and enjoy the prosperity of Hong Kong.
Although the financial crisis has just passed, Hong Kong is recovering at an astonishing speed. Now the breath of the economic crisis can no longer be felt.
No one cares about the bankrupt families, and the people who jumped off the building have long been forgotten.
The people who are still alive continue to speculate stocks, dance and run horses.
No one noticed that a group of Hong Kong tycoons have changed and a group of financial institutions have disappeared.
Some bosses and tycoons who were once famous in Hong Kong are now silent.
And Liu Tao's assets in Hong Kong have increased a lot again.
While eating, Seres was shocked by the prosperous Hong Kong.
This was his first time in Hong Kong, and he was shocked by its prosperity.
He finally understood why Hong Kong was called an international financial center and why it was known as the most developed city in Asia.
This prosperity shocked him.
He originally thought that Hong Kong would decline after being attacked by international speculators, but now it seems that there is no decline at all.
This time he asked to meet Liu Tao to get support from Panshan Group.
Somalia is very poor, and the only thing Somalia can offer now is ports and natural resources.
In addition, Somalia has 8.2 million hectares of arable land, which can be used to grow sorghum, corn, wheat, cassava and rice, as well as cotton, sugarcane, bananas, coconuts, sesame, mangoes, myrrh, frankincense, etc.
Somalia can also develop animal husbandry, raising camels, cattle, sheep, etc.
Somalia can also develop some industries!
But all of these are inseparable from external support, and this support is not just money!
Because Somalia, although there are still 5 million people, most of them are illiterate and have no technology.
This visit to China was for help.
Funds, technology, medical care, etc. are all what Somalia needs.
For example, he knew that Chinese fishermen were fishing in Somali waters. He did not prohibit fishing, but hoped to be able to supply and process in Somali ports, bring jobs and some tax revenue to Somalia.
After all, there are no large fishing boats in Somalia, and fishing is very primitive, so there is not much fish to catch.
