(1) We fully affirm that Chinese and African leaders have advocated on various international occasions the idea of building a community with a shared future for mankind, high-quality co building the "the Belt and Road", the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and other initiatives. We call on all countries in the world to work together to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanness and beauty, promote global governance through consultation, joint construction and sharing, practice the common values of all mankind, promote the building of a new type of international relations, and work together towards a bright future of peace, security, prosperity and progress.

China is willing to strengthen cooperation with Africa in the priority areas identified in the second decade implementation plan of Agenda 2063.
(3) We will work together to implement the important consensus reached at the high-level meeting on strengthening the exchange of governance experience and exploring the path of modernization development. We believe that China and Africa joining hands to promote modernization is the historical mission and contemporary connotation of jointly building a high-level China Africa community with a shared future. Realizing modernization is a universal pursuit of countries around the world, and world modernization should be a modernization of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity. Both China and Africa are willing to expand exchanges between the state, legislative bodies, governments, and local provinces and cities, continuously deepen experience exchanges in governance, modernization, poverty reduction, and other areas, and support each other in exploring modernization models based on their own cultural characteristics, development needs, and technology and innovation. China will always be a fellow traveler on the path of modernization in Africa.
The African side spoke highly of the Third Plenary Meeting of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC held in July this year, and believed that the meeting made a systematic deployment for China to further comprehensively deepen reform and promote Chinese path to modernization, which will bring more development opportunities to countries around the world, including Africa.
(4) This year marks the 70th anniversary of the publication of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. The African side appreciates China's consistent adherence to this important principle in developing relations with Africa, and believes that adhering to this principle is equally important for Africa to seek development, maintain friendly relations between countries, and respect sovereignty and equality. China will continue to uphold the principles of sincerity, sincerity, and righteousness, respect the political and economic choices made by African countries based on their own national conditions, refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of African countries, and not attach conditions to aid to Africa. Both China and Africa will always uphold the enduring spirit of "China Africa friendly cooperation", which is "sincere friendship, equal treatment, mutual benefit and win-win, common development, upholding justice and defending justice, adapting to the times, openness and inclusiveness", and jointly build a new era all-weather China Africa community with a shared future.
(5) We emphasize that China and Africa adhere to mutual support on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns. China reiterates its firm support for Africa in safeguarding national independence, unity, territorial integrity, sovereignty, security, and development interests. The African side reaffirmed its firm adherence to the one China principle, reaffirmed that there is only one China in the world, that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China, and that it firmly supports all efforts of the Chinese Government to achieve national reunification.
(6) We believe that promoting and protecting human rights, including the right to development, is a common cause for all mankind, and that human rights exchanges and cooperation should be carried out on the basis of mutual respect, equal treatment, and opposition to politicization. We firmly oppose the politicization of the human rights agenda, the United Nations Human Rights Council and its relevant mechanisms, and all forms of neo colonialism and international economic exploitation. We call on the international community to resolutely resist and combat all forms of racism and racial discrimination, and oppose intolerance, stigmatization and incitement to violence based on religion or belief.
(7) China supports African countries to play a greater influence and role in global governance, especially in the inclusive framework of addressing global issues. China believes that African individuals have the qualifications to serve as heads of international organizations and institutions and supports their performance. The African side appreciates China's leading support for the African Union to become a formal member of the G20. China will continue to support the priority issues related to Africa in the affairs of the G20, appreciate and welcome more African countries to join the BRICS family, and welcome Cameroonian nationals to serve as the President of the 79th United Nations General Assembly.
(8) China and Africa jointly advocate for an equal and orderly world multipolarity, firmly uphold the international system centered on the United Nations, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.

China supports making special arrangements to prioritize the resolution of African demands on the issue of Security Council reform.
The Chinese side has taken note of the 37th African Union Summit held in February 2024, which issued the "Declaration on Establishing a United Front for Promoting Justice and Compensation Payment to Africa". The declaration opposes historical crimes such as slavery, colonialism, and racial segregation, and calls for the restoration of justice to Africa through compensation. We believe that Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan, and Zimbabwe have the right to determine their own country's destiny and continue to promote economic and social development. We demand that the United States and the West end long-term sanctions and unfair treatment against these countries.
(9) China and Africa jointly advocate for inclusive economic globalization, in response to the universal demands of countries around the world, especially developing countries, and attach great importance to the concerns of African countries. We call for reforming the international financial system and improving development financing for countries in the South to achieve common prosperity and better meet the development needs of Africa. We will actively participate in and promote the reform of multilateral financial institutions, including the World Bank and International Monetary Fund quota, special drawing rights, and voting rights reforms.

China and Africa will continue to uphold the core values and basic principles of the World Trade Organization, oppose "decoupling and disconnection", resist unilateralism and protectionism, safeguard the legitimate interests of developing members including China and Africa, and add vitality and momentum to global economic growth. China supports the development oriented outcomes of the 14th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization to be held on the African continent in 2026. Both China and Africa will actively participate in the reform of the World Trade Organization, advocating that the reform should move towards building an inclusive, transparent, open, non discriminatory, and fair multilateral trading system, strengthen the central position of development issues in the work of the World Trade Organization, have a comprehensive and well functioning dispute resolution mechanism, and uphold the basic principles of the World Trade Organization. We condemn some developed countries for taking unilateral coercive measures that violate the sustainable development rights of developing countries, and oppose unilateralism and protectionism measures such as carbon border adjustment mechanisms under the pretext of addressing climate change and protecting the environment. We will be committed to building a safe and stable supply chain for key minerals to benefit the world and promote sustainable development for the people of Central Africa. We welcome the United Nations General Assembly's initiative to establish a key mineral group for energy transition and call for assistance to raw material suppliers in enhancing the value of their industrial chains.
(10) The Chinese side appreciates Uganda's successful hosting of the 19th Non Aligned Movement Summit and the 3rd South Summit of the Group of 77 and China in January 2024, promoting the strengthening of unity and cooperation in the "Global South". China and Africa, as the largest developing countries and the continent with the highest concentration of developing countries, belong to the 'Global South'. We always share the same breath and destiny with other developing countries, adhere to independence, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, autonomy, unity, and development, oppose ideological demarcation and factional confrontation, and safeguard the common interests of countries in the "global South" in the new round of global governance system reform.

We call on the international community to implement principles such as fairness and common but differentiated responsibilities, respect each country's independent choice of energy transformation path based on its own national conditions to achieve global common goals, take into account and value the special characteristics of developing countries, including African countries, while also considering small island developing countries and landlocked developing countries. Recalling the spirit of the Marrakesh Declaration issued at the first Africa Action Summit in November 2016, we call on developed countries to take more action, undertake the obligation of providing and mobilizing climate funds for developing countries, such as the Green Climate Fund, the "Loss and Damage" Fund, and the Adaptation Fund, resolutely fulfill their obligation to reduce emissions first, balance mitigation and adaptation, strengthen financial, technological, and capacity-building support for African countries, and help them improve their ability, adaptability, and resilience to cope with climate change. We call on developed countries to pay attention to the special needs of developing countries, including African countries, in addressing the challenges of climate change, achieving sustainable development and transformation, and providing predictable and sustained financial support and technology transfer in addition to development assistance.
We express concern about the economic vulnerability faced by African countries, especially small island developing states, and call on international financial institutions and multilateral development banks to explore the use of multidimensional vulnerability indices as a supplement to existing policies. We encourage China and African countries with potential and experience to propose trilateral cooperation initiatives or projects.

The African side warmly congratulated the successful holding of the third "the Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum in Beijing in October 2023. We unanimously support the United Nations holding future summits and adopting a proactive 'future contract' to better implement the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
(13) As an important partner of the African development agenda, China is willing to strengthen cooperation with African member states of the forum, the African Union and its affiliated institutions, and African sub regional organizations, actively participate in the implementation of the African Infrastructure Development Plan (PIDA), the Presidential Infrastructure Champion Plan (PICI), the African Union Development Agency New Partnership for Africa's Development (AUDA-NEPAD), the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Plan (CAADP), the Africa Industrialization Acceleration Plan (AIDA) and other all Africa plans, support African economic integration and connectivity, deepen and accelerate cross-border and cross regional cooperation on key infrastructure projects between China and Africa, and promote African development. We support the promotion of the above plan and the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" cooperation project, strengthen the logistics connectivity between China and Africa, and improve the level of China Africa economic and trade.
(14) We emphasize the importance of the African Continental Free Trade Area, and fully implementing the African Continental Free Trade Agreement will increase added value, create employment, and promote economic development in Africa.

We welcome Africa to make good use of the "green channel" for exporting African agricultural products to China. China is willing to sign a framework agreement for joint development economic partnership with willing African countries, promote more flexible and pragmatic arrangements for trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, expand independent opening up to African countries, and provide long-term, stable, and predictable institutional guarantees for China Africa economic and trade cooperation. China will expand unilateral opening up to the least developed countries, including African countries, and encourage Chinese enterprises to strengthen direct investment in Africa.
(15) We will strengthen cooperation in the field of investment between China and Africa, promote cooperation in the industrial and supply chains between China and Africa, enhance their respective capabilities in producing and exporting high value-added products, support their respective enterprises to actively utilize various forms of mutually beneficial cooperation models, encourage financial institutions on both sides to strengthen cooperation, expand bilateral local currency settlement and diversified foreign exchange reserves. The Chinese side supports the construction of local economic and trade exchange platforms with Africa, promotes the coordinated development of local industrial parks and China's economic and trade cooperation zones in Africa, and advances the construction of channels between China's central and western regions and Africa. China encourages its domestic enterprises to expand their investment and employment of local labor in Africa, fully respect international law, local laws and regulations, customs and religious beliefs, actively practice social responsibility, support the localization of production and processing in Africa, and assist African countries in achieving independent and sustainable development. China is willing to negotiate and implement bilateral investment promotion and facilitation agreements with Africa to provide a stable, fair and convenient business environment for Chinese and African enterprises, and safeguard the safety and legitimate rights and interests of personnel, projects and institutions on both sides. China supports the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Africa and encourages Africa to make good use of the special loans for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Africa. Both sides appreciate China's implementation of the "One Hundred Enterprises, One Thousand Villages" campaign in the Non Corporate Social Responsibility Alliance, which guides Chinese enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities in Africa.
(16) We attach great importance to the financing concerns of African development and strongly call on international financial institutions to tilt the use of funds towards developing countries such as African countries, optimize the approval process for providing funds to African countries, and enhance the convenience and fairness of African financing. China is willing to continue providing support to African financial institutions. The African side appreciates China's important contributions to the debt management of African countries, including the handling of individual debts under the Common Framework for Debt Management of the G20 Debt Relief Initiative and the lending of $10 billion in International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights to African countries. We call on international financial institutions and commercial creditors to participate in the debt treatment of African countries in accordance with the principle of "joint action and fair burden", and jointly help African countries address this critical issue. Under this framework, we should increase support for developing countries, including Africa, and increase long-term affordable financing to ensure their development. We reiterate that considering that some international institutions' sovereign ratings of developing economies, including those in Africa, will affect their borrowing costs, the relevant ratings should be more objective and transparent. We encourage the creation of an African rating agency within the framework of the African Union and with the support of the African Development Bank, with the aim of establishing a new evaluation system that values the uniqueness of the African economy. We call for reform of multilateral development banks, taking specific measures within their authorized scope to provide supplementary development financing, including increasing subsidies, preferential financing, creating new financing tools that meet the needs of African countries, etc., to help developing countries, including Africa, achieve sustainable development goals.
