The Forum on China and Africa Cooperation is set to take place in Beijing from September 4 to 6, marking its return since the inaugural gathering in 2018. Under the theme \"Joining Hands to Advance Modernization and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future,\" this year’s forum aims to deepen strategic partnerships and foster sustainable development across the continent.
The event will feature a series of activities, including an opening ceremony, a welcoming banquet, a gala performance, high-level meetings, and the Conference of Chinese and African Entrepreneurs. Additionally, bilateral meetings are scheduled to be held on the sidelines, providing ample opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between leaders from both regions.
In the lead-up to the forum, CGTN is hosting a series of roundtable discussions titled \"Coffee with Ambassadors.\" The first episode focuses on Namibia, bringing together key figures to discuss the evolving relationship between China and Africa. Participants include Namibian Ambassador to China Elia George Kaiyamo, Board Chairman of China Henan International Cooperation Group Company Cheng Jian, and Jiang Feng, Manager of the Technology and Digitalization Department at CGNPC Uranium Resources Co., Ltd.
The roundtable will delve into topics such as business cooperation in the mining sector, the enduring friendship between China and Africa, and future opportunities for collaboration. By highlighting these discussions, the forum seeks to showcase successful partnerships and explore new avenues for economic growth and technological innovation.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the China-Africa Forum serves as a vital platform for fostering mutual understanding and addressing shared challenges. With a focus on modernization and community building, the forum underscores the commitment of both regions to creating a prosperous and sustainable future together.
