FOCAC Summit to bring the next frontier closer

China Daily  

JIN DING/CHINA DAILY The ongoing 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation is expected to elevate Sino-African engagement and cooperation to a higher level, as it is likely to suggest ways to overcome the challenges facing the world and outline the measures needed to consolidate the gains already made by the two sides. The robust cooperation between China and Africa, especially after the first China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo was held in Hunan province in 2018, has provided African countries greater access to the Chinese market. From infrastructure construction, trade and investment to vigorous cultural and educational exchanges, the FOCAC has helped meet the needs of African countries, and ameliorate the historical infrastructure and connectivity deficits on the continent. The two summits outlined critical and targeted areas of cooperation, including infrastructure construction, industrialization, agricultural modernization, healthcare, capacity building, and cultural and educational exchanges, and have contributed immensely to the economic recoveries of African countries, and promoted regional trade under the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area. But by blindly copying China's development model, African countries cannot achieve much, because the ground realities and the economic and political systems of China and African countries are very different.
