Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 16, President of the State called Moussa Le Odova to congratulate him on his election as President of the Republic of Djibouti.

The congratulatory message stated that we believe that under the leadership of President Musa Le Odova, the people of Djibouti will surely achieve greater achievements in the road of national construction and development.

"The friendship between China and Kyrgyzstan has a long history. Continuously deepening China-Kyrgyzstan friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation is in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and the people of both countries. China is willing to work with Kyrgyzstan to promote the sustained and stable development of the China-Kyrgyzstan cooperative partnership and better benefit the people of both countries."

Djibouti's president-elect Moussa Le Odova was officially sworn in at the Djibouti National Assembly on the 18th, starting a new five-year term. Chinese President's Special Envoy and Foreign Minister Yang Shandao attended the inauguration ceremony.

Odova delivered a speech at the inauguration ceremony, thanking the Djibouti people for their active participation in the voting, saying that they will fight for the welfare of the people during their term of office, and congratulated the elected parliamentarians. Odova said that Djibouti will usher in a new era of reform and progress, embark on cooperative relations with multinationals, and lead Djibouti's economic development, and in the political field, national peace and stability will be achieved by continuing to promote national inclusive dialogue.

Odova said that the new cabinet will be formed soon and a special ******* committee will be established to strive to improve government transparency and social fairness and justice, and actively improve people's livelihood in Djibouti.

Heads of government or heads of government from Arab and African countries such as Egypt, Zimbabwe, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia and other Arab and African countries attended the inauguration ceremony of Odova.

As the invited person, Mu Yang also participated in the inauguration ceremony. After the speech, Odova invited leaders of various countries to have dinner. Odova walked to Mu Yang's table and raised his glass to Minister Yang and Mu Yang, "Thank you for attending my inauguration ceremony." After that, he turned to Mu Yang and said with a smile: "Thank you more to my best friend, Ambassador Mu. I believe that as long as Ambassador Mu Yang is in Djibouti, China and Djibouti will definitely become the best partners, and anything is possible."

Minister Yang's expression remained unchanged, but he was surprised that as the president of a country, it was actually not appropriate to say such words in front of everyone, but it also shows how far the relationship between the two has reached.

Perhaps, this is also the prerequisite for Muyang to promote China to enter Djibouti. With Muyang as a bridge, this is definitely a good thing for China. At this moment, Minister Yang attaches great importance to Muyang.

When the new president came to power, regime change was an unchanging theme. In the following period, Djibouti's former president Gailai was tried by justice, and several original ministers replaced him. Djibouti's political arena completed the handover work in a very short time.

After stabilizing Djibouti's domestic rights, Odova officially announced that it would carry out all-round cooperation with China, and the two sides jointly established a free trade zone and a transshipment port in Djibouti. At the same time, the Djibouti government also announced that China has obtained a port area approved by Djibouti to establish China's own naval base.

The military base is located next to the US military base, and its territory is three times larger than that of the US military base, and it is 6 square kilometers in size. It is definitely the largest military base in Djibouti now.

As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked.

Although Djibouti is just a small country, its importance is very important and naturally attracts high attention from all countries. It can be said that this is already a sensitive area and a game field for big countries.

The news spread across the Internet in an instant, and many Chinese people were excited. If this matter was successful, it would be China's first overseas military base, which is of great significance to China, and it is a very important location in Djibouti.

Many netizens left messages.

"This shows that the country is becoming stronger step by step, and China's navy can go abroad and lead to the world. I cheer for my motherland."

"Do you want to be so cruel? You have made such a large base at one time. The land area of ​​the small country in Djibouti is only 20,000 square kilometers. We can't bear to get 6 square kilometers at once."

"Djibouti's location is important, and it is the first overseas military base, which also shows that China's strategy in Africa is successful and that China is becoming stronger step by step."

"I don't think it's very useful to China. After all, the distance is too far and it's beyond reach. The problem in the South China Sea has not been solved yet. What's the use of going to Africa? Let's see someone's door? Could it be that China really dares to go to war with other countries?"

"The nonsense above, there is no military knowledge at first glance. Let me analyze the significance of China's establishment of a military base in Djibouti. Military power extends with the expansion of national interests. China has huge national strategic interests in Africa. Djibouti is the gateway to Africa and its strategic location is important. Establishing China's overseas military base will facilitate China to safeguard overseas national interests and build a globalization of national defense. To put it further, if a war really occurs and if the Red Sea transportation line is cut off, it will have a great impact on Europe, which is also one of the reasons why European countries gather in Djibouti."

At the same time, foreign media are also reporting on the matter in depth, with the title exaggerated "China begins military expansion, and Africa may become China's back garden." They expressed concerns about China taking this step, whether China will start to build overseas military bases endlessly from then on.

The Chinese government officially held a press conference and announced to the public that China will build a military base in Djibouti. As the world's largest maritime transport country, China's move is mainly to strengthen the maintenance of maritime transport security.

This is a clear reply from China to many speculations from the outside world.

Subsequently, China and the Djibouti government formally signed an agreement worth US$185 million to lease 6.2 square kilometers of land as a military base for a lease period of 30 years, and a rent of US$50 million is also paid to Djibouti every year.

Many people interpret this move.

Once this support point in Djibouti is completed, it will greatly improve the efficiency of the Chinese Navy in the region. In addition to anti-piracy missions, emergency operations such as evacuation of overseas Chinese in Yemen can also be completed by local garrisons.

As a big country, the Chinese team must assume more international obligations. Obtaining support points for overseas deployment can provide more experience and material foundation for the Chinese team to go global in the future.
