On September 17, 2007, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi met with Chadian Minister of External Relations Ahmad Allam-Mi, exchanging views on bilateral ties and preparations for President Deby's visit to China. Both sides agreed to cooperate closely to ensure the success of the visit, in a bid to push bilateral friendly cooperative ties to a new level. Allam-Mi reaffirmed Chad's adherence to the one-China policy and opposition to the separatist activities aimed at "Taiwan independence", for which Yang expressed appreciation.

The purpose of Allam-Mi's current visit is to make preparations for President Deby's upcoming state visit to China.
