On November 29, President Xi Jinping's keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the eighth ministerial meeting of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was filled with such sincere and affectionate words.
We not only read the truth from it, but also understood the righteousness.
China-Africa friendly exchanges have a long history.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other first-generation leaders of New China and the older generation of African politicians jointly opened a new era of China-Africa relations and left a good story in the history of international relations.
In October 1971, the 26th UN General Assembly passed Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority, and China resumed its legal seat in the UN.
This is inseparable from the strong support of the vast number of African countries.
This year marks the 65th anniversary of the inauguration of diplomatic relations between China and Africa.
Looking back on history, Xi Jinping said emotionally: China and Africa have forged an unbreakable brotherhood in the struggle against imperialism and colonialism, have embarked on a road of distinctive cooperation on the journey of development and revitalization, and composes amidst complex changes. The wonderful chapter of watching and helping each other has set a glorious example for building a new type of international relations.
Please note that "unbreakable" is forged in struggle, "distinctive characteristics" is formed in development, and "helping each other" is to withstand the test of complex changes.
Xi Jinping's words fully illustrate that China and Africa share common historical experiences, common development tasks, and common strategic interests, and they have always been a community with a shared future.
In March 2013, when Xi Jinping visited Africa for the first time after assuming the presidency of the country, he said that we can talk and feel that we are equal; we do not impose our will on you, nor do you impose our will on us.
China has provided assistance to the development of Africa within its capacity. China is even more grateful to African countries and people for their long-term support and selfless help to China. We have always taken a clear and unequivocal stand on issues concerning each other’s core interests. Support each other.
For decades, we have shared weal and woe and worked side by side. China and Africa have formed brotherhood and shared the righteousness of the world, creating a long-standing spirit of friendship and cooperation between China and Africa.
Xi Jinping summed up this spirit as: "sincere friendship, equal treatment, mutual benefit and win-win, common development, uphold justice, defend justice, adapt to the current situation, open and inclusive".
Why are China-Africa relations good?
Why is China-Africa friendship deep?
These 32 words are the answer!
How to construct a new type of international relations?
China-Africa relations are a model!
At present, a century of change in the world is intertwined with the epidemic of the century, and the love and justice between China and Africa are even more precious.
China is the largest developing country in the world, and Africa is the continent with the largest concentration of developing countries. Building a China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era is of vital importance to safeguarding the common interests of developing countries in the complex changes.
This is undoubtedly a deeper level of sentiment and morality.
In September 2018, at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, Xi Jinping proposed the "five nos", namely: not interfering with African countries in exploring development paths that suit their national conditions, not interfering in African internal affairs, and not imposing their will on others. , Do not attach any political conditions to aid to Africa, and do not seek private political gains in investment and financing of Africa.
These contents embodied the concept of true friendship and sincerity and the correct concept of justice and benefit, representing the common demands of the vast number of developing countries, and the common interests of the vast number of developing countries.
In the same vein, in this keynote speech, Xi Jinping put forward four propositions on building a China-Africa community with a shared future for a new era: persist in unity to fight the epidemic, deepen pragmatic cooperation, promote green development, and maintain fairness and justice.
He also pointed out that China will work closely with African countries to jointly implement the "nine projects", including health projects, poverty reduction and agricultural benefits projects, trade promotion projects, investment-driven projects, digital innovation projects, green development projects, and capacity building projects. , People-to-people exchange project, peace and security project.
These propositions and measures are the well-being of the vast number of developing countries.
At the end of the keynote speech, Xi Jinping said that with the joint efforts of China and Africa, this China-Africa Cooperation Forum meeting will be a complete success, gather the majestic strength of the 2.7 billion people of China and Africa, and promote the construction of a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future.
This not only shows the bright prospect of the China-Africa community with a shared future, but also the bright prospect of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
