NAIROBI, March 23 (Xinhua) -- As the largest freshwater lakes in China and Africa, respectively, Poyang Lake and Lake Victoria have witnessed a cross-continental collaboration for sustainable development and ecological preservation.

Lake Victoria is the chief reservoir of the Nile, while Poyang Lake connects with the Yangtze River. Both lakes serve as vital water sources, supporting millions of people and providing habitats for diverse wildlife.

In recent years, with support from organizations such as the Global South-South Development Center Project and the United Nations Perez-Guerrero Trust Fund, Poyang Lake and Lake Victoria, both members of the Living Lakes Network, have joined forces to address shared challenges, including soil erosion and wetland degradation.

China's Jiangxi Province, home to Poyang Lake, has strengthened its cooperation with Kenya, Tanzania and other nations bordering Lake Victoria in recent years. By sharing their expertise in lake management, the province and its partners have injected fresh momentum into China-Africa efforts toward eco-friendly modernization.
