ABSTRACT: Under the influence of
globalization, the friendly and cooperative relations between China and East
African countries have developed rapidly and comprehensively, from the political exchanges of
high-level leaders to the all-round close exchanges of the party, government, military, culture, and
business, as well as the close cooperation between the two sides in economic
and trade. Both indicate that China and East Africa have very close cooperative
and development relations; the main reasons for the development of the
cooperative relations between the two sides are due to the mutual needs of the
two sides, the political situation of these African countries is basically
stable, and the Chinese government has strengthened its African policy. Among
them, the development of cooperation between China and Somalia can fully
illustrate the tremendous efforts made by China and East African countries in
bilateral cooperation. As the least developed region in East Africa and the
continuous war, China and Somalia have overcome difficulties together. With the
efforts of both sides, the continuous development of cooperative relations is promoted. At present, the development of bilateral relations between China and
East Africa is satisfactory. There are still some problems in economic and
trade cooperation. This article explains and proposes corresponding
countermeasures.
