As the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation celebrates its 25th anniversary, it stands as a powerful testament to how genuine partnership and sustained commitment can foster development, progress and solidarity especially among countries of the Global South. Since its establishment, Focac has played a pivotal role in transforming China-Africa relations into a comprehensive and strategic collaboration. What began as a diplomatic platform has evolved into a dynamic engine for collective growth and a model for equitable international cooperation.
The momentum generated by the recent Focac Beijing Summit marks a new and promising chapter in this journey. At the summit, African leaders and the Chinese government reached consensus on deepening cooperation across the "six modernisation fields" and implementing the "Ten Partnership Actions." These initiatives are not merely aspirational, they represent a robust, action-oriented vision supported by concrete policy and economic commitments. Together, they aim to elevate China-Africa relations into what is now being described as an “all-weather community with a shared future.”
