Student commentator Wang Yilin
As close as brothers, sharing friendship, talking about cooperation, and discussing development - the grand, warm and fruitful Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation came to a successful conclusion. This summit can be said to be a harmonious event between China and Africa and a successful practice of the concept of "harmonious world".On behalf of the Chinese government, President Hu Jintao reiterated to African brothers that China will always be a "reliable partner" in "promoting peace and stability in Africa", "achieving Africa's development and prosperity" and "supporting Africa's active participation in international affairs".
President Hu Jintao, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles and Egyptian President Mubarak jointly read the "Declaration of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation" at the closing ceremony. China and Africa will establish a new strategic partnership of "political equality and mutual trust, economic win-win cooperation, and cultural exchanges and mutual learning".
Looking back over the past fifty years, cooperation between China and Africa has also experienced a process of continuous deepening. After the founding of New ChinaIn the late 1970s, China-Africa relations were in a stage of close political cooperation. Since the 1980s, China and Africa have entered a period of economic cooperation. Win-win cooperation has become the theme of cooperation between both parties. At the same time, economic cooperation has enriched cooperation in the political field. Since the 1990s, cooperation between China and Africa has entered a period of comprehensive cooperation in politics, economy, culture, education, science, peacekeeping and other fields. In the future, cooperation between China and Africa will move into all-round cooperation around the track of a new strategic partnership. This summit is not only a summary of the past fifty years, but also the beginning of another fifty years.
Both China and Africa have a long history and splendid civilization. They both share the same or similar blood-and-fire struggle for national independence and national liberation. They both recognize the political identity of "Third World" and "developing country", and both face common development goals and tasks, as well as common interest demands for peace, development, and cooperation. All these have enabled China and Africa to reach a consensus on many major issues involving world peace and development.
At the strategic and political level, strengthening consultations and solidarity and cooperation between China and Africa will help increase the international influence of developing countries as a whole and promote the establishment of a fair and reasonable new international political and economic order. In recent years, with the rise of w88 protectionism in developed countries and the growth of militaristic tendencies of some major countries in international relations, developing countries have further strengthened their common interests and bonds in opposing hegemonism and power politics and striving for fair and just international economic and w88 rules, and their influence in international affairs has also further increased. For example, in the World w88 Organization's negotiations on agricultural issues, it was precisely because China, Africa and other developing countries took a coordinated stance to collectively defend their rights that forced developed countries to make certain concessions and commitments on the issue of the final elimination of agricultural w88 subsidies. In addition, since China and Africa have the same or similar positions on many major international issues such as opposing unilateralism, emphasizing development priority, maintaining and strengthening the authority of the United Nations, and enhancing the representation of African and other developing countries in the Security Council, China-Africa cooperation in international affairs is also of great significance for promoting the democratization of international relations and exerting the influence of developing countries on international affairs.
On the economic level, China-Africa economic cooperation is a partnership of complementary advantages, mutual benefit and win-win results. Africa has56 countries and regions with a population of 850 million, rich in natural and human resources, vast markets, and huge development potential. However, due to long-term colonial plunder and local conflicts, the economy is still relatively backward and lacks development funds, technology, and experience. After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, China's economic scale and strength have grown significantly. It has applicable technologies and equipment at all levels and more than 20 years of successful experience in reform and opening up and economic construction. However, it also faces new problems such as resource shortages and intensified competition in the domestic market. Therefore, the mutual learning and cooperation between China and Africa in terms of resources, markets and funds, technology and experience can promote common development and greatly improve the level of "South-South cooperation". Especially in recent years, China and Africa have increased cooperation in human resources development. Through talent training and promotion of capacity building, it has added new impetus to Africa's sustainable economic development, and at the same time opened up a new path for "South-South cooperation."
In the fields of w88 and economic and technological cooperation, African countries and my country have carried out multi-faceted cooperation that complements each other's advantages and is mutually beneficial and win-win.For more than 50 years, w88 between China and Africa has developed rapidly. Bilateral w88 volume has grown from US$12.11 million in the early 1950s to nearly US$40 billion in 2005. In addition to w88, two-way investment between China and Africa has also become more active in recent years.
In the fields of culture and education, China and Africa also have broad prospects for cooperation. Both China and Africa are the birthplaces of human civilization, with brilliant civilization and cultural heritage. Africa's unique culture and art are not only unique among world civilizations, but also have a strong appeal to the Chinese people. The arrival of African students, performances by African theatrical performance groups, African art exhibitions, etc. have played a positive role in enriching our understanding of foreign cultures and strengthening cultural exchanges and reference.
In the political and diplomatic fields, African countries have made important contributions to China's restoration of its lawful seat in the United Nations. African countries and people have always given deep sympathy and active support to China's just cause of safeguarding national sovereignty and unity.
As contemporary Chinese college students, we are fortunate to see China-Africa relations developing vigorously and friendlyally. China's new generation of leaders has proposed the concept of a harmonious world, which is a great initiative. The mission entrusted to us by the times is even more severe. We not only shoulder the important task of creating a harmonious society, but also shoulder the great mission of maintaining a harmonious world and maintaining friendly relations between China and Africa. The world cannot achieve harmonious development without the harmonious development of Africa and China-Africa relations; and the harmonious development of Africa and China-Africa relations will also provide a powerful driving force for the harmonious development of the world. We should carry forward "Friendship, peace, cooperation, development”The spirit of the summit will make China-Africa friendship everlasting.
