摘要
Speaking at a summit of the Forum on China-Africa Co- operation （FOCAC）, President Xi 3inping of China outlined China＇s policy towards Africa and proposed that the new type of China-Africa strategic partnership be upgraded to a comprehensive strategic and cooperative partnership. The partnership is underpinned by five major pillars, namely, political equality and mutual trust; mutually beneficial eco- nomic cooperation; cultural exchanges; security coopera- tion and mutual assistance; and solidarity and coordination in international affairs. The vision for an upgraded partner- ship reflects China＇s desire to forge relations with Africa based on sincerity, real results, friendship and good faith, and to serve the greater good.
