　　Xi said he expects the two sides to implement the results of the 2018 Beijing Summit of the FOCAC, promote the eight major initiatives unveiled at the summit to realize early progress, and advance the Belt and Road Initiative.

　　The Chinese president called on the two sides to advance the strategic integration of each other's development plans, strengthen cooperation in traditional areas, expand new growth points in mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote the industrialization and economic diversification of Angola.

　　Xi also said it is necessary to expand people-to-people exchanges and exchanges between local areas.

　　Noting that for a long time, bilateral cooperation has played a positive role in the economic and social development of Angola, Lourenco said that Angola looks forward to further strengthening bilateral cooperation in infrastructure construction and people's livelihood, to better promote Angola's development.

　　Lourenco said that the FOCAC has promoted cooperation between China and Africa as a whole, and that African countries highly appreciate China's cooperation with Africa "on the basis of Africa's actual needs and its taking tangible measures without attaching any political conditions or interference in African countries' internal affairs."

　　"The cooperation plans proposed by China within the framework of the FOCAC has a very positive impact on the development of African countries," Lourenco said.

　　"It is hoped that cooperation between Angola and China will become a model for Africa-China cooperation."

　　He said Angola values China's important influence in international affairs, and hailed China's constructive role in addressing hot-spot issues in Africa.

　　The Angolan president said that Angola supports multilateralism and advocates that the world's future should be decided by all countries, expressing the will to cooperate closely with China in multilateral affairs.

　　洛伦索表示，安中保持高层密切交往，体现出双方对两国关系的高度重视。长期以来，安中合作对安哥拉经济社会发展发挥了积极作用。安方期待进一步加强两国在基础设施建设及民生领域的合作，更好地助力安哥拉国家发展。中非合作论坛推动了中国同整个非洲之间的合作。非洲国家高度赞赏中国根据非洲大陆的实际需求开展对非合作，采取实实在在的举措，且不附加任何政治条件、不干涉非洲国家内政。中方在中非合作论坛框架内提出的合作计划对非洲国家发展具有非常积极的影响。希望安中合作能成为非中合作的典范。安哥拉重视中国在国际事务中的重要影响，高度评价中方为妥善解决非洲热点问题发挥的建设性作用。安哥拉支持多边主义，主张世界的未来应由各国共同决定，愿密切同中国在多边事务中合作。
