新華社北京8月30日電 8月27日，國家主席習近平復信非洲50國學者，鼓勵他們繼續為構建高水準中非命運共同體、維護“全球南方”共同利益提供智力支援。

習近平指出，不久前，中國共産黨二十屆三中全會勝利召開，吹響了以進一步深化改革、開闢中國式現代化廣闊前景的時代號角。一個追求和平發展、矢志改革開放的中國不斷發展壯大，必將進一步增強世界和平與國際正義的力量，為世界現代化進程特別是“全球南方”發展振興注入源源不竭的動力。

習近平強調，中國和非洲從來都是命運共同體。面對變亂交織的世界形勢，中國和非洲比以往任何時候更要加強團結合作。新一屆中非合作論壇峰會即將召開，中非雙方領導人再次齊聚一堂，共商中非合作大計，將開闢中非關係更加壯麗的前景。期待你們在“中非達累斯薩拉姆共識”基礎上，加大對“全球南方”國家發展道路、中非和南南合作的研究探索，繼續為構建高水準中非命運共同體、維護“全球南方”共同利益提供重要智力支援。

日前，南非前資深外交官、浙江師範大學非洲研究院名譽教授格羅布勒會同來自非洲50個國家的63名學者聯名致信習近平主席，熱烈祝賀中國共産黨二十屆三中全會勝利召開，高度讚賞中非合作論壇歷史性成就，期待新一屆論壇峰會為構建中非命運共同體、共建“全球南方”現代化書寫新篇章。

Xi stresses China, Africa always a community with a shared future

BEIJING, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- China and Africa have always been a community with a shared future, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed on Tuesday in a reply to scholars from 50 African countries.

In the letter, Xi noted that in the face of a volatile and intertwined world situation, China and Africa need to strengthen solidarity and cooperation more than ever before.

Xi encouraged the scholars to continue to provide intellectual support for building a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future and safeguarding the common interests of the Global South.

Xi noted that not long ago, the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was successfully held, sounding a clarion call of the times to open up broad prospects for the Chinese modernization through further deepening reform.

The continuous development and growth of China that pursues peaceful development and is committed to reform and opening up will surely further strengthen the forces for world peace and international justice, and inject inexhaustible impetus into the process of global modernization, especially the development and revitalization of the Global South, Xi said.

The upcoming Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) will bring together Chinese and African leaders once again to discuss China-Africa cooperation, which will open up even more splendid prospects for China-Africa relations, Xi said.

He raised his hope that based on the Dar es Salaam Consensus between China and Africa, both sides will step up research and exploration on the development path of Global South countries, China-Africa and South-South cooperation, and continue to provide important intellectual support for building a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future and safeguarding the common interests of the Global South.

Gert Grobler, a former veteran diplomat of South Africa and honorary professor of the Institute of African Studies at Zhejiang Normal University, and 63 scholars from 50 African countries sent a joint letter to Xi, warmly congratulating on the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, highly commending the historic achievements of the FOCAC, and expecting that the upcoming Summit of the FOCAC would write a new chapter in building a China-Africa community with a shared future and the joint modernization of the Global South. ■
