Beijing, December 9 (KCNA) -- Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei at a regular press briefing on Dec. 8 rejected the West's accusation against China.

Some Western media described China's engagement with Africa as "neo-colonialism" which is untruthful, Hong said.

Hong noted that it is the common obligation of the international community to promote the sustainable development of Africa's agricultural sector.

Hong urged those countries that actually possess vast land to listen to the voice of Africa and contribute to addressing the food security of the continent with real actions.
