聚焦独立60周年 共商庆典活动安排

会谈中，黄兆锦主任首先对莱索托即将迎来的独立60周年表示热烈祝贺。他表示，2026年是莱索托独立60周年的重要节点，也是中莱关系承前启后的关键之年。今年1月，王毅外长访问莱索托时专门祝贺莱索托独立60周年，强调中方愿同莱方一道推动中莱战略伙伴关系取得更大发展。中城海合会愿以此为契机，积极参与和支持莱索托驻华使馆举办的独立日周年庆典及相关商务论坛活动，共同回顾两国60年来友好交往历程，展望未来合作蓝图。

林梅大使对黄兆锦主任的到访和祝贺表示感谢，并介绍了独立60周年系列活动的筹备情况。林梅大使表示，莱方高度重视这一历史性时刻，计划在使馆及北京相关场所举办经贸推介、文化展示等系列活动，期待中城海合会及中方企业积极参与，共同庆祝这一重要时刻。

推动商务合作中心落地 搭建经贸合作新平台

会谈重点围绕在商务中心设立中莱经贸合作平台的议题展开深入讨论。黄兆锦主任介绍了中城海合会计划在广州南沙区设立商务合作中心的相关工作进展，该中心旨在为中国企业对非合作提供设备生产、加工制造、贸易对接等一站式服务支持。他表示，莱索托拥有独特的区位优势和丰富的资源禀赋，特别是在农业、纺织业、水资源开发等领域合作潜力巨大。商务合作中心可成为莱索托特色产品进入中国市场的重要通道，为两国企业搭建便捷高效的对接平台。

林梅大使对此方案给予积极回应。林梅大使表示，广东作为中国对非经贸合作的重要门户，在粤设立商务合作中心将极大便利莱索托企业对接中国优质资源和广阔市场。莱方将积极支持该中心建设，并推动莱索托国内相关部门和企业与中方对接，共同探索在农产品加工、羊毛制品、矿产资源开发等领域的合作机会。

深化务实合作 共促中莱经贸高质量发展

会谈中，双方还就落实中非合作论坛北京峰会成果、推动具体合作项目落地等议题交换了意见。黄兆锦主任表示，中城海合会长期致力于搭建中外经贸文化交流的桥梁，此前已与多个非洲国家驻华使馆建立了良好的合作关系。中城海合会将秉持“真实亲诚”的对非方针，采取点对点一站式服务，切实推动中莱合作项目落地。

林梅大使表示，莱方愿在中非合作论坛框架下，与中城海合会加强沟通协作，共同推动中莱在基础设施、制造业、能源等领域的务实合作。林梅大使还特别提到，莱索托正积极推进经济多元化发展战略，在稀土资源绿色开发、现代农业技术合作、可再生能源项目投资等领域期待与中国企业深化合作。欢迎中城海合会组织中国企业代表团赴莱索托实地考察，使馆将在签证办理、政府对接、企业座谈等方面提供全力支持。

会谈在友好、务实的氛围中圆满结束。双方约定将建立专项沟通机制，就独立60周年庆典活动参与、商务合作中心建设、企业代表团出访等事宜保持密切沟通，共同推动中莱战略伙伴关系不断迈上新台阶。

Director Huang Zhaojin of the CCDA Overseas Committee Meets with Lesotho Ambassador H.E. Mapaballo Lydia Mile to Discuss 60th Independence Anniversary Celebrations and Business Cooperation

Beijing, July 9, 2026 – Mr. Huang Zhaojin, Director of the China City Development Alliance Overseas Joint Development Working Committee (hereinafter referred to as the "CCDA Overseas Committee"), paid a courtesy call on H.E. Ms. Mapaballo Lydia Mile, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Lesotho to China, at the Embassy of Lesotho in Beijing. The two sides held a working meeting centered on preparations for Lesotho's 60th Independence Anniversary celebrations, the establishment of a business cooperation center, and the deepening of bilateral economic and trade ties.

Spotlight on the 60th Independence Anniversary – Joint Planning for Celebration Events

At the outset of the meeting, Director Huang Zhaojin extended warm congratulations on Lesotho's upcoming 60th Independence Anniversary. He noted that 2026 represents both a historic milestone for Lesotho and a pivotal moment for China-Lesotho relations. He recalled that in January of this year, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi paid a visit to Lesotho and specifically conveyed his congratulations on the anniversary, emphasizing China's commitment to working alongside Lesotho to further elevate their strategic partnership. The CCDA Overseas Committee, he said, is eager to seize this opportunity to actively participate in and support the Independence Day anniversary celebrations and related business forums hosted by the Lesotho Embassy, jointly reviewing six decades of friendly exchanges between the two nations and charting the course for future cooperation.

Ambassador Mile expressed her gratitude for Director Huang's visit and his congratulatory remarks, and provided an update on the preparatory work for the series of 60th anniversary events. She noted that Lesotho places great importance on this historic occasion and plans to host a variety of activities at the Embassy and other venues in Beijing, including economic and trade promotion events and cultural exhibitions. She expressed her hope that the CCDA Overseas Committee and Chinese enterprises would take an active part in celebrating this significant milestone.

Advancing the Business Cooperation Center – Building a New Platform for Economic and Trade Collaboration

The discussions placed particular emphasis on the proposal to establish a China-Lesotho economic and trade cooperation platform within a business center. Director Huang Zhaojin briefed the Ambassador on the progress of the CCDA Overseas Committee's plan to set up a business cooperation center in the Nansha District of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. The center is intended to provide one-stop support services for Chinese enterprises engaged in Africa-related cooperation, covering equipment production, processing and manufacturing, and trade matchmaking. He noted that Lesotho enjoys unique geographic advantages and abundant natural resources, with considerable cooperation potential in agriculture, textiles, and water resource development. The business cooperation center, he added, could serve as a key gateway for Lesotho's specialty products to enter the Chinese market, offering an efficient and convenient matchmaking platform for businesses from both countries.

Ambassador Mile responded positively to the proposal. She observed that Guangdong Province serves as a major gateway for China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, and the establishment of a business cooperation center there would greatly facilitate access for Lesotho enterprises to China's high-quality resources and expansive market. The Lesotho side, she affirmed, would actively support the development of this center and encourage relevant government departments and businesses in Lesotho to engage with their Chinese counterparts, jointly exploring cooperation opportunities in areas such as agricultural product processing, wool products, and mineral resource development.

Deepening Practical Cooperation – Jointly Promoting High-Quality Growth of Bilateral Economic and Trade Relations

During the talks, the two sides also exchanged views on implementing the outcomes of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and advancing specific cooperative projects. Director Huang Zhaojin stated that the CCDA Overseas Committee has long been dedicated to building bridges for economic, trade, and cultural exchanges between China and other countries, and has already established sound working relationships with the embassies of several African nations in Beijing. The CCDA Overseas Committee will continue to uphold the principle of "sincerity, real results, amity, and good faith" in its engagement with Africa, and adopt a point-to-point, one-stop service approach to ensure the effective implementation of China-Lesotho cooperation projects.

Ambassador Mile responded that Lesotho is willing to strengthen communication and collaboration with the CCDA Overseas Committee within the FOCAC framework, jointly advancing practical cooperation in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, and other sectors. She further noted that Lesotho is actively pursuing an economic diversification strategy and looks forward to deepening cooperation with Chinese enterprises in areas such as the green development of rare earth resources, modern agricultural technology cooperation, and renewable energy project investment. She extended a warm invitation for the CCDA Overseas Committee to organize a Chinese business delegation for an on-the-ground visit to Lesotho, pledging the Embassy's full support in visa processing, government liaison, and enterprise matchmaking sessions.

The meeting concluded in a cordial and productive atmosphere. Both sides agreed to establish a dedicated communication mechanism to maintain close coordination on matters including participation in the 60th Independence Anniversary celebrations, the development of the business cooperation center, and the organization of enterprise delegation visits, so as to jointly propel the China-Lesotho strategic partnership to new and greater heights.
