Obiang Nguema Sworn in as Equatorial Guinea's President

Teodoro Obiang Nguema was sworn in for his sixth term as Equatorial Guinea's president on Friday.
In a grand inauguration ceremony in the capital, Malabo, 73-year-old Obiang was joined by more than 1,000 party loyalists and about a dozen heads of state and foreign dignitaries.
Chinese President Xi Jinping also sent a special envoy, Mr. Miao Wei, to attend the ceremony. Miao is China's Minister of Industry and Information Technology.
Obiang said Equatorial Guinea's oil-dependent economy should be diversified for better development and for that reason he said the country should promote agriculture, fishing, forestry, tourism and any other sectors that involve job creation.
Obiang said his next seven-year term will be crucial as Equatorial Guinea will be built into an "emerging economy."
"I know he started his term nicely, and I know we all believe he's going to finish the job, because he was talking about [a vision for] 2020. And he's done 60 percent of what he promised, so we know the 40 [percent] that's left, he will finish it before [the] seven years to come," said one of his supporters.
Obiang, who ousted his uncle Francisco Macias Nguema in a military coup in 1979, took office as president in 1982 and remains the longest-serving leader in Africa.
