China and African countries will build a politically supportive, economically win-win and cultural closely-related strategic partnership, said Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said Tuesday.

Li made the remarks at a press conference held on the sidelines of the ongoing annual full session of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature.

The year 2006 witnessed the 50th anniversary of the founding of the China-Africa relations. The Sino-African relations have stood the tests of time and drastic international changes.
