China is willing to work with Senegal to further deepen development cooperation, jointly make a new blueprint for development cooperation after the pandemic, and push bilateral relations to a new level, added Zhou. 

Hott thanked the Chinese government for its selfless assistance and support to Senegal’s economic and social development as well as its fight against the pandemic. Senegal stands ready to continue to work closely with China, implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, actively promote the agreed projects, and continuously consolidate the comprehensive strategic partnership between Senegal and China to achieve common development.
