Murargy also highly praised the trilateral cooperation proposal introduced at this Forum, believing it can better coordinate the interests of all parties and bring benefits to African Portuguese-speaking countries, noting that the participating member states hold a supportive and open attitude toward this strategy. Murargy further indicated that the Forum platform has promoted effective cooperation among member states and has also played an important role in human resources training, adding that the 4th Ministerial Conference will surely propel the relationship between China and Portuguese-speaking countries to a new stage.
