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. 

中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，非洲是发展中国家最集中的大陆，中非友谊历久弥坚，积极在各领域开展友好合作，不断推进高质量发展，发挥着中非命运共同体在构建新型国际关系，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.

中非关系为什么好？中非友谊为什么深？关键在于中非双方缔造了历久弥坚的中非友好合作精神，那就是“真诚友好、平等相待，互利共赢、共同发展，主持公道、捍卫正义，顺应时势、开放包容”。这是中非双方数十年来休戚与共、并肩奋斗的真实写照，是中非友好关系继往开来的力量源泉。
