Muyang raised his hand and picked up the phone on the table, it was Vice Minister Guo who called, and first asked about the recent work in Djibouti, these things are basically reported in detail every week, so Muyang knows that Vice Minister Guo will not call just to ask about these known data, or just to care about the work here.

Next, I heard Vice Minister Guo say: "The United States, France, and even some European countries are dissatisfied with China's development in Africa, or rather, Djibouti, especially Djibouti. ”

"The United States implements the Asia-Pacific strategy, shifts its focus to Asia, and constantly creates incidents in the South China Sea, and the situation in Asia is now very delicate, and the ultimate idea of the United States is to contain China's development, fearing that we will threaten his position as the world's leader, and that their global economic plundering will not continue."

"Djibouti is now a hot spot, and our one-step strategy in Djibouti, if achieved, could take our investment strategy in Africa to a new level, including military benefits."

"So the Americans, or rather the Europeans, don't want to see us finish so smoothly, and they're likely to stumble through it."

"We have received a report from the United States that US Secretary of State John Terry will visit nine African countries in the near future, and we guess that the purpose of this trip is mainly aimed at China, and the United States will not see our rapid development in Africa, see others getting closer to us, and see others stronger than them, so it will do everything possible to stop us."

"This time, the last stop on Terry's itinerary is Djibouti, and it is likely that he will go to the U.S. base in Djibouti to offer condolences and even other actions."

"What I am not worried about now is whether his trip will have a bad impact on China, and how much impact it will have, Xiao Mu, do you think the Djibouti government, especially President Odova, will be affected, and affect the cooperation between China and Djibouti."

Muyang has been listening carefully, constantly thinking about the changes in the international situation, with the increase of US investment in Djibouti, China has become Djibouti's largest investment partner, in the future, for a long time, Djibouti's direction will be affected by the Chinese government's far-reaching influence.

In fact, in other African countries, many situations are basically similar, but the effect of China's unsparing investment in construction is the effect.

China is sincerely seeking win-win cooperation, China has invested real money, and China has helped African countries develop, so naturally in the minds of these African countries, their status is much stronger than that of the Americans, who only know how to rely on military blackmail.

As for saying that the United States is unwilling to accept that China's voice in Africa is greater than that of the United States, this is certain, because the strategy of the United States is to dominate the world and plunder the interests of other countries at will to supplement itself.

Now, Djibouti's geographical location is the most important, and the development is also the fastest, it should belong to the kind of projects with little investment, quick results and large returns, the United States has always held the initiative here, and now it is suddenly seized by the Chinese, how can they be willing.

Djibouti is a small and weak country, and Odova has just come to power, although it has cooperated with China and established friendship with China, but it is difficult to guarantee that under the strong pressure of the United States, it will change its previous strategy, if that happens, China's investment in Djibouti will all be wasted, and the country is still very worried about this area.

This is a normal fear, and if Odova is under more pressure than he can bear, he will naturally abandon China and make other choices for his career, betraying the previous alliance.

Perhaps, only Muyang himself knows that Odova will never betray him.

"Minister Guo, I believe that the Djibouti government and the people of Djibouti know who is the real friend, and those who come to the door with guns must be villains and robbers, and Djibouti now wants to develop, the best choice is to cooperate with China, and we have now made great strides on the road of cooperation, I believe that both Odova and the people of Djibouti hope for the development of their country." Muyang said.

"Our cooperation is carried out in the spirit of win-win cooperation, and I only hope that the Djibouti side can withstand the pressure, and in this regard, your embassy, especially you, you have a very good personal relationship with President Odova, and in this regard, you must explain China's position and determination to President Odova." Vice Minister Guo said.

"I understand that I will definitely do my job as President Odowa, and I believe that he will make the right choice because he is a politician who is genuinely willing to work hard and give for the development of Djibouti." Muyang said.

After putting down the phone, Mu Yang thought that perhaps, this trip to Terry was a blow before the storm, and the country had realized that he had to be prepared to deal with it.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Muyang drove to the border between Djibouti and Ethiopia with administrative counselor Xin Weitong, cultural counselor Yu Juan, economic counselor Wang Lizhong, embassy military attache Yan Jialin, office director Zhang Jialiang, and an accompanying reporter, a group of 7 people, to the border between Djibouti and Ethiopia to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Fortunately, Djibouti is not big, and it only takes more than an hour to drive from the capital to the border, which is still the case that Djibouti's roads are not very good.

When Muyang was in the car, he saw the crowd gathered at the scene, and Muyang saw Odowa, many other department officials in Djibouti, as well as hundreds of local Djiboutian people, and hundreds of Chinese workers wearing railway construction uniforms.

Muyang and his entourage hurriedly got out of the car, Odova personally stepped forward to greet them, and the two hugged and saluted, and then Muyang shook hands with Djibout's proposal Minister Houmed, Foreign Minister Gide, Minister of Transportation Musa, and Minister of Energy.

Subsequently, Odowa introduced Muyang, Ethiopian Ambassador to Djibouti Kesamad, and Ethiopian Minister of Transport Walkney.

After that, Odova introduced several local tribal chiefs to Muyang who had come to participate in the ceremony today, and the patriarchs used crutches to pray for Muyang's blessings, and Muyang greeted and talked to them in the local Afarian language.

There are about 850,000 people in Djibouti as a whole, and the main city is Djibouti City, accounting for more than one-third of the country's population, about 350,000 people, and the rest are basically in this tribal form.

Many people were surprised that Muyang was able to speak fluent Afar and the tribal patriarch, in fact, even if it was a lot of local officials in Djibouti, many people's Afar language was not necessarily as fluent as Muyang's, the first language in Djibouti was French, and the second was Arabic.
