Lin Songtian, the Chinese ambassador to South Africa, said media agencies should provide honest accounts of the China-Africa cooperation, offer guidance to public opinion, identify opportunities and promote the mutually beneficial relationship.

"African and Chinese media should work towards common development," Lin said. "We have to build the positive image of our relations, share our common values, friendship and common interest."

"Both sides should stand up and loudly tell people of the world who their true and reliable friend is," he said.
