Understanding the destiny and common destiny of China and Africa from President Xi Jinping's concept of Africa

2023-02-20

The 36th African Union Summit (the 36th African Union Summit) opened at the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, on the 18th. I would like to work with African leaders to further strengthen China-Africa friendly cooperation, strengthen coordination and cooperation in international and regional affairs, and promote the construction of a high-level China-Africa community of shared future. China-Africa friendship has a long history. Similar historical experiences and common historical missions have closely linked China and Africa. Under the framework of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China has successively announced "ten major cooperation plans", "eight major actions" and "nine projects" for Africa. The two sides have achieved fruitful cooperation in infrastructure, public health, capacity building and other fields, highlighting the high-level development of the China-Africa community of shared future in the new era. To promote the development of China Unicom in all directions, "it is very convenient to take the express way! It used to take two hours to drive from the airport to the city, but it takes longer to meet the traffic jam, and now it only takes 20 minutes." said John Andigo, a taxi driver in Nairobi, Kenya. The expressway mentioned by Andigo was invested and constructed by Chinese enterprises and officially put into operation at the end of July last year. The expressway passes through the central business district, the national stadium, the parliament building and the presidential palace of Nairobi, connecting the downtown area of Nairobi and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, with a total length of 27.1 kilometers. At the beginning of February this year, the total number of traffic has exceeded 10 million. "In order to develop, it is necessary to build a road traffic network extending in all directions." Kungu Entungu, director of Kenya Highway Authority, said that the Nairobi Expressway has greatly alleviated road congestion, significantly reduced logistics and public commuting costs, and has been well received locally. At the current AU Summit, an important topic is "accelerating the construction of a free trade area on the African continent". However, for a long time, roads, bridges, ports, water supply, power supply and other infrastructure in some regions of Africa are still incomplete, which has become the main obstacle for African countries to strengthen economic and trade exchanges. Driven by the initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road", China Africa cooperation in infrastructure construction has continuously achieved fruitful results. China has built more than 6000 kilometers of railways, 6000 kilometers of highways, nearly 20 ports and more than 80 large power facilities in Africa. At the end of January this year, the opening and operation ceremony of Nigeria's Laiki Deepwater Port was held. The largest deepwater port in West Africa is expected to create nearly 360 billion US dollars in overall economic benefits and 170000 jobs. It can be predicted that the operation of the project will open a new situation for Nigeria's economic development. Dennis Mwaba, an engineering expert at the University of Zambia, said that China's help has further improved Africa's connectivity, cross-border and cross-regional infrastructure construction, greatly promoted Africa's trade and investment facilitation and economic integration, and brought industrialization development opportunities to African countries.
