Friends and Distinguished Guests,
春华秋实，岁物丰成。在这收获的季节，很高兴同各位新老朋友相聚北京，共商新时代中非友好合作大计。首先，我代表中国政府和中国人民，对大家的到来表示热烈欢迎！Blossoms in spring turn into fruits in autumn, and a bumper harvest is the reward of hard work. In this season of harvest, I am delighted to gather together with so many old and new friends in Beijing to discuss grand plans for China-Africa friendship and cooperation in the new era. On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I extend a warm welcome to you all!中非友好穿越时空、跨越山海、薪火相传。2000年中非合作论坛成立，在中非关系史上具有重要里程碑意义。24年来特别是新时代以来，中国同非洲兄弟姐妹们本着真实亲诚理念，携手前行。我们在世界百年变局中肩并肩、手拉手，坚定捍卫彼此正当权益；我们在经济全球化大潮中强筋骨、壮体魄，累累硕果惠及中非亿万百姓；我们在大灾大疫面前同甘苦、共拼搏，书写了一个个中非友好的感人故事；我们始终相互理解、彼此支持，树立了新型国际关系的典范。The friendship between China and Africa transcends time and space, surmounts mountains and oceans, and passes down through generations. The founding of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in 2000 was a milestone in the history of China-Africa relations. Over the past 24 years, especially in the new era, China has advanced forward hand in hand with our African brothers and sisters in the spirit of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith. We stand shoulder to shoulder with each other to firmly defend our legitimate rights and interests as once-in-a-century changes sweep across the world. We get stronger and more resilient together by riding the tide of economic globalization, delivering tangible benefits to billions of ordinary Chinese and Africans. We share weal and woe in fighting natural disasters and epidemics together, creating touching stories of China-Africa friendship. We always empathize with and support each other, setting a stellar example of a new type of international relations.经过近70年的辛勤耕耘，中非关系正处于历史最好时期。面向未来，我提议，将中国同所有非洲建交国的双边关系提升到战略关系层面，将中非关系整体定位提升至新时代全天候中非命运共同体！Thanks to nearly 70 years of tireless efforts from both sides, the China-Africa relationship is now at its best in history. With its future growth in mind, I propose that bilateral relations between China and all African countries having diplomatic ties with China be elevated to the level of strategic relations, and that the overall characterization of China-Africa relations be elevated to an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era.Friends and Distinguished Guests,
实现现代化是世界各国不可剥夺的权利。西方现代化进程曾给广大发展中国家带来了深重苦难。第二次世界大战结束后，以中国和非洲为代表的第三世界国家相继实现独立和发展，不断纠正现代化进程中的历史不公。中华人民共和国即将迎来75周年华诞，正坚定不移以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业。非洲也正经历新的觉醒，朝着非盟《2063年议程》描绘的现代化目标稳步迈进。中非共逐现代化之梦，必将掀起全球南方现代化热潮，谱写构建人类命运共同体的崭新篇章。Modernization is an inalienable right of all countries. But the Western approach to it has inflicted immense sufferings on developing countries. Since the end of World War II, Third World nations, represented by China and African countries, have achieved independence and development one after another, and have been endeavoring to redress the historical injustices of the modernization process. As we are about to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Peoples Republic of China, we are going all out to build a great modern socialist country in all respects and pursue national rejuvenation through a Chinese path to modernization. Africa is also awakening again, and the continent is marching in solid strides toward the modernization goals set forth in the AUs Agenda 2063. China and Africas joint pursuit of modernization will set off a wave of modernization in the Global South, and open a new chapter in our drive for a community with a shared future for mankind.——要携手推进公正合理的现代化。推进国家现代化建设，既要遵循现代化一般规律，更要符合本国实际。中方愿同非方加强治国理政经验交流，支持各国探索适合本国国情的现代化道路，确保各国权利平等、机会平等。-- We should jointly advance modernization that is just and equitable. In promoting modernization, we should not only follow the general rules, but also act in light of our national realities. China is ready to increase exchanges of governance experience with Africa, support all countries in exploring modernization paths befitting their national conditions, and help ensure equal rights and equal opportunities for all countries.——要携手推进开放共赢的现代化。互利合作是符合各国长远和根本利益的阳光大道。中方愿同非方深化工业、农业、基础设施、贸易投资等领域合作，树立高质量共建“一带一路”的标杆，共同打造落实全球发展倡议的样板。-- We should jointly advance modernization that is open and win-win. Mutually beneficial cooperation is the sunny road to the betterment of long-term and fundamental interests of all countries. China is ready to deepen cooperation with Africa in industry, agriculture, infrastructure, trade and investment, promote exemplary, high-quality Belt and Road cooperation projects, and build together a model for the delivery of the Global Development Initiative.——要携手推进人民至上的现代化。实现人的自由全面发展是现代化的最终目标。中方愿同非方积极开展人才培养、减贫、就业等领域合作，提升人民在现代化进程中的获得感、幸福感、安全感，共同推动现代化惠及全体人民。-- We should jointly advance modernization that puts the people first. The ultimate goal of modernization is the free and full development of human beings. China will work vigorously with Africa to promote personnel training, poverty reduction and employment, enhance the sense of gain, happiness and security of the people in the course of modernization, and ensure that all will benefit from the process.
——要携手推进多元包容的现代化。实现物质文明和精神文明协调发展是现代化的崇高追求。中方愿同非方密切人文交流，在现代化进程中倡导不同文明相互尊重、包容共存，共同推动全球文明倡议结出更多硕果。-- We should jointly advance modernization featuring diversity and inclusiveness. Well-balanced material and spiritual advancement is a lofty objective of modernization. China will enhance people-to-people and cultural exchanges with Africa, champion mutual respect, inclusiveness and coexistence of different civilizations on our way to modernization, and strive together for more fruitful outcomes under the Global Civilization Initiative.——要携手推进生态友好的现代化。绿色发展是新时代现代化的鲜明标识。中方愿帮助非方打造“绿色增长引擎”，缩小能源可及性差距，坚持共同但有区别的责任原则，共同推动全球绿色低碳转型。-- We should jointly advance modernization that is eco-friendly. Green development is a hallmark of modernization in the new era. China is ready to help Africa build "green growth engines," narrow the gap in energy accessibility, adhere to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and jointly push for the global transition to green and low-carbon development.——要携手推进和平安全的现代化。现代化离不开和平稳定的发展环境。中方愿帮助非洲提升自主维护和平稳定的能力，推动全球安全倡议率先在非洲落地，促进高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动，共同维护世界和平稳定。-- We should jointly advance modernization underpinned by peace and security. Modernization would not be possible without a peaceful and stable environment for development. China is ready to help Africa improve its capacity in safeguarding peace and stability independently, prioritize Africa in implementing the Global Security Initiative (GSI), promote mutual reinforcement of high-quality development and greater security, and work together with Africa to uphold world peace and stability.Friends and Distinguished Guests,

This will profoundly further transform China. It will also provide new opportunities and new driving forces for African countries and for our joint pursuit of modernization.非洲有句谚语“同路人才是真朋友”。现代化道路上一个都不能少，一国都不能掉队。让我们凝聚起28亿多中非人民的磅礴力量，在现代化征程上携手同行，以中非现代化助力全球南方现代化，绘就人类发展史上崭新画卷，共同推动世界走向和平、安全、繁荣、进步的光明前景！As an African proverb goes, a friend is someone you share the path with. On the path to modernization, no one, and no country, should be left behind. Let us rally the more than 2.8 billion Chinese and African people into a powerful force on our shared path toward modernization, promote modernization of the Global South with China-Africa modernization, and write a new magnificent chapter of development in human history. Let us join hands to bring about a bright future of peace, security, prosperity and progress for our world.
