Updated:2019-04-17 | By:China.org.cn

Forum on China-Africa Cooperation

The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was formally inaugurated at its first Ministerial Conference in October 2000 in Beijing, upon the joint initiative of China and Africa. It aims to further strengthen friendly cooperation between China and African countries to meet the challenges of economic globalization in search of common prosperity.

The FOCAC promotes understanding, consensus-building, friendship and collaboration through consultation on the basis of equality.

FOCAC members include China, the 51 African states that have established diplomatic relations with China, and the Commission of the African Union. The FOCAC Ministerial Conference is held every three years, and to date six conferences have been convened.

At the opening of the FOCAC Summit in Johannesburg (South Africa) on December 4, 2015, President Xi Jinping announced that the China-African new-type strategic partnership would be upgraded to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. He also proposed 10 plans to boost cooperation with Africa in the areas of industrialization, agricultural modernization, infrastructure, financial services, green development, trade and investment facilitation, poverty reduction and public welfare, public health, people-to-people exchanges, and peace and security.

The Seventh FOCAC Summit was held in September 2018 in Beijing, on the theme of "China and Africa: Toward an Even Stronger Community of Shared Future Through Win-Win Cooperation." Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech entitled "Work Together for Common Development and a Shared Future" at the opening session. He called for all parties to assume joint responsibility to build a China-Africa community of shared future that pursues win-win cooperation, delivers happiness for all, enjoys cultural prosperity and common security, and promotes harmony between man and nature.

To this end, China will launch eight initiatives in close collaboration with African countries: industrial promotion, infrastructure connectivity, trade facilitation, green development, capacity building, health care, people-to-people exchanges, and peace and security. 

The summit adopted the Beijing Declaration – Toward an Even Stronger China-Africa Community of Shared Future, and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Beijing Action Plan (2019-2021).
