摘要
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, China has been Africa’s largest trading partner for nine consecutive years. From January to June this year, the China-Africa trade volume reached USD 98.8 billion, with a year-on-year rate of increase of 16%. Bilateral trade has expanded from daily consumer goods and products of energy and mineral resources to high value-added products and agricultural products with special characteristics.
The High-level Dialog between Chinese and African Leaders and Business Representatives and the Sixth Conference of Chinese and African Entrepreneurs were both held on September 4. Participants held deep discussions about topics regarding "advancing industrial cooperation for win-win development, deepening trade cooperation for common development, and enhancing infrastructure cooperation for sustainable development", and provided useful suggestions about how to strengthen bilateral cooperation in those areas.
