世纪之交话中非关系

Sino African Relations at the Turn of the Century

50年来，中非关系一直顺利发展，尽管国际风云变幻，始终充满活力。50年的中非关系是平等互利、真诚友好、互相支持、全面合作的新型国家关系。全力支持非洲的解放和发展是中国对非政策的鲜明特点，它以其正义性、一贯支持和无私援助从本质上区别于西方对非政策。同时，中国也得到非洲国家和人民的大力支持。在新世纪，中非关系面临新的挑战，但是，中非有很多基本共同点，是未来中非关系新的基石，只要加强对非工作，新世纪的中非关系就会生气勃勃，沿着长期稳定、全面合作方向发展。

For the past fifty years, despite constant change of international situation, the relations between China and Africa have been developing smoothly with full vigor. Sino African relations have been equal ones with mutual benefit, sincere cordiality, mutual support and comprehensive cooperation. To support the liberation and development of African countries is the striking feature in China's Africa policy. China's Africa policy embodies its justice, consistent support and selfless assistance. It essentially differs from Western countries' policy towards Africa. In the meantime, China has enjoyed strong support from African countries and people. During the new century, Sino African relations will face new challenges, but China and African countries share common ground in many fields and these common points of view will serve as the new basis of future Sino African relations. Only if we make greater efforts to develop the relations wih Africa, the relations will certainly be full of vitality with long term stability and comprehensive cooperation in the new century.
