Promote Friendly Cooperation Between China and Africa

China is the biggest developing country in the world, and Africa is the continent with the most developing countries. China-Africa friendship goes deeper with the passage of time, and the two sides are actively promoting friendly cooperation in various fields and advancing high-quality development. The China-Asia community with a shared future is playing a significant role in building a new type of international relations and improving global governance. 

中國是世界上最大的發展中國家，非洲是發展中國家最集中的大陸，中非友誼歷久彌堅，積極在各領域開展友好合作，不斷推進高品質發展，發揮著中非命運共同體在構建新型國際關係，完善全球治理上的重要作用。

Why do China and Africa have such a close relationship and such a deep a bond of friendship? The key lies in an everlasting spirit of China-Africa friendship and cooperation forged between the two sides, characterized by sincere friendship and equality, mutual benefit and common development, fairness and justice, openness and inclusiveness, and progress with the times. This truly captures the story of China and Africa working together in good times and hardship over the past decades, and provides a source of strength for the continuous growth of friendly China-Africa relations.

中非關係為什麼好？中非友誼為什麼深？關鍵在於中非雙方締造了歷久彌堅的中非友好合作精神，那就是“真誠友好、平等相待，互利共贏、共同發展，主持公道、捍衛正義，順應時勢、開放包容”。這是中非雙方數十年來休戚與共、並肩奮鬥的真實寫照，是中非友好關係繼往開來的力量源泉。
