习近平复信非洲学者

新华社北京8月30日电 8月27日，国家主席习近平复信非洲50国学者，鼓励他们继续为构建高水平中非命运共同体、维护“全球南方”共同利益提供智力支持。

习近平指出，不久前，中国共产党二十届三中全会胜利召开，吹响了以进一步深化改革、开辟中国式现代化广阔前景的时代号角。一个追求和平发展、矢志改革开放的中国不断发展壮大，必将进一步增强世界和平与国际正义的力量，为世界现代化进程特别是“全球南方”发展振兴注入源源不竭的动力。

习近平强调，中国和非洲从来都是命运共同体。面对变乱交织的世界形势，中国和非洲比以往任何时候更要加强团结合作。新一届中非合作论坛峰会即将召开，中非双方领导人再次齐聚一堂，共商中非合作大计，将开辟中非关系更加壮丽的前景。期待你们在“中非达累斯萨拉姆共识”基础上，加大对“全球南方”国家发展道路、中非和南南合作的研究探索，继续为构建高水平中非命运共同体、维护“全球南方”共同利益提供重要智力支持。

日前，南非前资深外交官、浙江师范大学非洲研究院名誉教授格罗布勒会同来自非洲50个国家的63名学者联名致信习近平主席，热烈祝贺中国共产党二十届三中全会胜利召开，高度赞赏中非合作论坛历史性成就，期待新一届论坛峰会为构建中非命运共同体、共建“全球南方”现代化书写新篇章。

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. ■
