 Konare said that in the new international environment, Africa and China 
should work together to build a strategic partnership. 
 The Chinese Government announced in late December that it would provide the 
African Union with US$400,000 to aid its operations in Sudan's Darfur region, 
expressing China's hope to see a peaceful solution to the Darfur issue within 
the framework of the African Union at an early date. 
 The AU whose predecessor was the Organization of African Unity was officially 
launched in 2002. It is a premier institution with a view to accelerating the 
process of integration in the Africa continent to enable it to play its rightful 
role in the global economy while addressing multifaceted social, economic and 
political problems compounded as they are by certain negative aspects of 
globalization.
