Johannesburg, December 1 (Xinhua) – The handover ceremony for China's inaugural batch of power assistance to South Africa took place on November 30 in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal province. Approximately 300 attendees, including Chen Xiaodong, China's Ambassador to South Africa, South African Presidency Minister of Power Ramokopa, Deputy Minister of Health Delomo, and representatives from various sectors, participated in the event.

In his address, Ambassador Chen Xiaodong highlighted the ongoing power shortages in South Africa since the beginning of the year. In response, China swiftly decided to provide emergency power equipment, technical experts, professional consultations, and personnel training to assist South Africa in alleviating its power crisis. The power equipment handover ceremony is a significant step in implementing the outcomes of the Chinese leadership's visit to South Africa. Ambassador Chen pledged continued collaboration between China and South Africa, actively facilitating the timely arrival of subsequent batches of power assistance.

Ambassador Chen emphasized that China's provision of power equipment to South Africa reflects the Chinese people's compassion and confidence in the South African population. This gesture underscores the genuine solidarity between the two nations, further strengthening the public sentiment and societal foundation for the development of Sino-South African relations. Given the historical task of accelerating energy transition and promoting economic development in both China and South Africa, Ambassador Chen expressed China's willingness to enhance policy coordination with South Africa. He encouraged and supported collaboration between businesses in both countries, particularly in areas such as wind energy, solar energy, energy storage, and power transmission and distribution, aiming to promote comprehensive cooperation and build a high-level Sino-South African community with shared destiny.

Minister Ramokopa expressed heartfelt gratitude from the South African government and people for the robust support provided by China. He acknowledged China's generous assistance during South Africa's time of need, showcasing the unity and friendship between the two nations. Some of the Chinese aid power equipment has already been distributed to various public institutions, including hospitals and schools, receiving warm appreciation from the local population. South Africa is committed to maximizing the benefits of China's power assistance, ensuring that the citizens truly reap the rewards. Minister Ramokopa is optimistic that, with China's assistance, South Africa will rapidly overcome its energy crisis and drive national economic recovery and development.

Deputy Minister Delomo emphasized the critical role of the healthcare system in ensuring the well-being of the South African people, noting the high electricity consumption in the sector. Given the significant power pressure faced by major hospitals, South Africa sincerely thanked China for assisting in addressing the electricity constraints in the healthcare system. Delomo expressed the hope for strengthened cooperation with China, aiming to jointly enhance the well-being of the people in both countries.
