The 2023 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit concluded on Friday in Beijing. In an exclusive interview with China News Network, Joseph Oliver Mendo'o, executive Director of International Exchange Dept. of China-Africa Business Council, and head of the African Youth Delegation in China, remarked that during the opening ceremony of the FOCAC Summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the concept of modernization where "no one should be left behind," stating that only with the modernization of both China and Africa can the world achieve true modernization.
He pointed out that China and Africa together account for one-third of the world's population, and their modernization processes are closely tied to global progress. Chinese enterprises in Africa have not only created substantial employment opportunities for local youth but also supported sustainable development through youth training and technology transfer. Additionally, China's contributions to infrastructure development in Africa, particularly in trade facilitation, have not only advanced China-Africa cooperation but also strengthened economic ties between African countries. This cooperation has promoted both the building of a China-Africa community with a shared future and a community with a shared future for humanity, underscoring China's significant role in driving global development and prosperity. （Wang Gaofei， Zhao Li）
