Established in 2000, the China Africa Cooperation Forum is an important platform for collective dialogue and an effective mechanism for practical cooperation between China and Africa.

Fruitful results of practical cooperation On October 9, 2021, the highway and bridge project in the upper river area of Gambia aided by China was officially opened to traffic. This project has successfully opened the "last kilometer" of Gambia's national expressway network, which is known as the "important milestone" of Gambia's implementation of the national development plan (2018-2021). At the opening ceremony, Gambian president barrow thanked China for its strong support and assistance to the economic and social development of Gambia and said that he would continue to expand practical cooperation with China in trade, investment, culture and other fields. One is the largest developing country and the other is the continent with the largest concentration of developing countries. Similar historical experiences, common struggle and consistent development tasks closely link China and Africa. On 2018, at the Beijing summit of the China Africa Cooperation Forum, on the basis of the ten major cooperation plans proposed by China in 2015, the Chinese side announced the implementation of eight major actions, including industrial promotion, facility interconnection, trade facilitation, green development, capacity-building, health and health, cultural exchanges, and peace and security, and pushed the pragmatic cooperation between China and Africa to a new high. China's aid to gangshanghe highway and bridge project is a vivid embodiment of the "eight actions". In recent years, benefiting from the "ten cooperation plans" and the "eight actions", Africa has made remarkable progress in infrastructure construction and industrialization. Industrial parks invested and built by Chinese enterprises have become an important hub of Africa's industrialization. China's ports, airports, power plants, railways and highway networks for Africa have injected unprecedented vitality and energy into Africa's independent development, Tangible results of cooperation have benefited the African people. In the view of Charles onunayizhu, director of Nigeria's China Research Center, attaching importance to implementation is an important feature of the mechanism of the Forum on China Africa cooperation.

New chapter of United anti epidemic spectrum On November 26, the capping ceremony of the main structure of the phase I project of the headquarters of the African Center for Disease Control and prevention assisted by China was held in the southern suburb of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Amira, Social Affairs Commissioner of the African Union Commission, said that the African CDC project is a solid foundation for the African Chinese health community, and this milestone project is the latest embodiment of the long-standing Africa China friendship.

Since 2020, China has provided 120 batches of emergency anti epidemic materials such as testing reagents, protective clothing, masks, isolation eye masks and respirators to 53 African countries and the African Union, and sent anti epidemic medical expert groups or short-term anti epidemic medical teams to 17 African countries, demonstrating the brotherhood of China and Africa. Abiding by its promises and doing what it says is a distinctive feature of China's diplomacy.

As of November 12, 2021, China has provided more than 1.7 billion doses of vaccines to more than 110 countries and international organizations, including 50 African countries and the African Union Commission. On the basis of donating US $100 million to the "new crown vaccine implementation plan", Another 100 million doses of vaccine will be donated free of charge to developing countries, including Africa. After the outbreak of COVID-19, China also announced the waivers of the interest free loans of 15 African countries due at the end of 2020. After receiving the vaccine from China, Zimbabwean President mnangaguwa said that the vaccine provided by the Chinese government and the Chinese people is like "a beam of light at the end of the dark tunnel" for the Zimbabwean people who are in a difficult period. China Africa cooperation welcome machine Recently, the well-known African polling organization "Africa barometer" released a report showing that China ranks first in terms of influence in Africa, 63% of respondents believe that China's political and economic impact on their country is "very" or "relatively" positive, and 66% of respondents believe that China's political and economic impact in Africa is positive. The figures in the report reflect the folk reputation of China Africa cooperation and the win-win nature of China Africa cooperation. China Africa cooperation has formed an all-round, wide-ranging and three-dimensional pattern. The fields of cooperation have been continuously expanded, and the highlights of cooperation have continued to emerge. At present, both China and Africa have entered a new stage of development. China promotes the construction of a new development pattern and brings more opportunities for Africa's development. The formal implementation of the African free trade area and the accelerated pace of African economic integration have created greater development space for China Africa cooperation. Analysts believe that looking ahead, China and Africa have great growth potential in the fields of digital economy, new energy and climate change. The eighth ministerial meeting of the Forum on China Africa cooperation is about to open. In the face of changes in the past century and the epidemic situation in the 21st century, the 55 members of the forum have overcome difficulties and gathered again to talk about cooperation and seek common development. This in itself sends a positive signal of unity and cooperation to the world.
