China and Africa are facing a historic opportunity to synergize respective development strategies.
While addressing participants at a 2018 seminar for journalists from Kenya, Ren Xiaoping, an official from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Africa enjoys unique advantages of abundant natural and human resources, great market potential and is committed to the Africa Union 2063 agenda to accelerate its industrialization and agricultural modernization.
On the other hand, China has comparative development advantages in capital, technology, equipment, personnel, development experience, and production capacity."China is ready to support Africa in its efforts to address three major bottlenecks impeding development, namely lack of quality infrastructure, professional and skilled personnel and financial resources," she said.
Ren added China will support Africa in developing self-sustainable systems of industrialization, food security and public health."We have the reasons to believe that, by implementing the China-Africa ten cooperation plans and the AU 2063 agenda, we can deliver more tangible benefits to people from both parties," she said.
Another factor behind the strong China-Africa relationship is an emphasis on treating each other with equality.She noted in conducting cooperation with Africa, China always abides by the guidelines of sincerity, real results, affinity and good faith as well as the policy of upholding justice and pursuing shared interests.
China can help turn the rich natural and human resources in Africa into a driving force for development.
