Sino-African cooperation on development path

At the recent coordinators' meeting in Beijing to evaluate the implementation of programs agreed at the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in September 2018, China and Africa agreed to build a community of shared future, jointly pursue a development path under the Belt and Road Initiative framework, and safeguard multilateralism and the spirit of equitable and open cooperation.

The Coordinators' Meeting on the Implementation of the Follow-up Actions of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was another important example of China-Africa friendly engagement and practical cooperation, which will elevate the China-Africa Comprehensive Strategic and Cooperative Partnership to a higher level.

Thanks to rising unilateralism, protectionism and bullying, economic globalization is facing various counter-currents including growing uncertainties in international relations, which have become the major barriers constraining the development of developing countries. China as the biggest developing country and Africa as the continent with the largest number of developing countries remain true to their original aspiration, and have joined hands to promote a community with a shared future for mankind, and usher in a new chapter of global unity, coordination and mutual benefits.
