“非”同以往 非洲跨越发展
Africa's leapfrogging development
在近十多年，非洲大陆呈现出的不同以往的跨越发展趋势。看看埃塞俄比亚的工业园区，卢旺达基加利的城市管理和劳动密集制造业的发展，以及一条条不断出现的现代化铁路和公路，一个个现代化的港口等等，无疑开始改变人们对于非洲战乱、饥饿等传统的刻板印象。非洲大陆正走在极具非洲特色强大的合作共赢和内生动力双驱同发展之路。
In the last decade or so, the African continent has witnessed a different kind of leapfrog development.Look at the industrial parks in Ethiopia, the development of urban management and labour-intensive manufacturing in Kigali, Rwanda, and the emergence of modern railways and roads, modern ports and so on.It has undoubtedly begun to change the traditional stereotypes of Africa as a place of war and hunger.Africa is on the road to leapfrogging development, driven by win-win cooperation and endogenous dynamics, with strong African characteristics.
非洲从上世纪60年代独立到2000年前后，整个非洲大陆的GDP总量是5000亿到6000亿美元。但是从2000年开始到2010年，非洲的GDP总量由6000亿增加到了15000亿到20000亿。这10年的时间，全球增长最快的10个国家有6个来自非洲，所以被称作“黄金十年”。而中非合作的再一次深化，非洲呈现更广阔的发展前景。
Africa's total GDP for the entire continent from independence in the 1960s to around 2000 was $500 billion to $600 billion.But from the beginning of 2000 to 2010, Africa's total GDP increased from $600bn to between $1,500bn and $20,000bn.This decade, during which six of the world's 10 fastest-growing countries came from Africa, has come to be known as the "Golden Decade".
今年中非合作论坛推进现代化十大伙伴行动中的一项内容是33个非洲国家在内的所有同中国建交的最不发达国家100%税目产品零关税待遇。通过进一步放宽商品关税免除举措，非洲商品出口规模将显著扩大，尤其是在农业和纺织等关键领域。这将促进非洲经济发展，并助力非洲进一步融入全球经济。
2024FOCAC 10 partnership actions is the zero-tariff treatment of 100 per cent of the tariff lines of the products of all least developed countries (LDCs), including 33 African countries, that have diplomatic relations with China.Through further liberalisation of commodity tariff exemption initiatives, the scale of Africa's commodity exports will expand significantly, especially in key areas such as agriculture and textiles. This will boost Africa's economic development and contribute to its further integration into the global economy.
除外，论坛围绕“携手推进现代化，共筑高水平中非命运共同体”这一主题，推进现代化是中非合作、非洲国家发展的必然趋势。论坛也发布了对非务实合作的新行动新举措，在非洲实施30个基础设施联通项目，和非方共同发表在全球发展倡议框架内深化合作的联合声明，成立中非医院联盟，派遣500名农业专家、建设中非农业科技创新联盟，深入推进“未来非洲职业教育”计划，在非洲实施30个清洁能源项目，同非方建立落实全球安全倡议伙伴关系……
In addition, the Forum focused on the theme of "Joining Hands to Advance Modernisation and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future", with the aim of promoting modernisation as an inevitable trend in Chinese-African cooperation and in the development of African countries.30 infrastructure connectivity projects,joint statement on deepening cooperation within the framework of the Global Development Initiative with Africa,establish with Africa a hospital alliance and joint medical centers,establish a China-Africa agricultural science and technology innovation alliance,launch 30 clean energy projects in Africa,implementing the Global Security Initiative (GSI)......
未来，随着非洲与中国新时代合作之路越走越深、互联互通进程加快，非洲一体化自身发展空间不断扩大，拥抱新技术和新理念、贸易便利化，人口红利和资源再加持，非洲大陆的巨大潜能终将进一步释放。
In the future, the process of connectivity between Africa and China is accelerating, and the space for intra-African development is expanding. With Africa's embrace of new technologies and ideas, trade facilitation, coupled with a demographic dividend and abundant resources, the continent's enormous potential will eventually be unleashed.
