A Letter in Reply: China, Africa always a community with shared future

05:30

The 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) is being held in Beijing from September 4 to 6.

Gert Grobler, a former veteran diplomat of South Africa and honorary professor of the Institute of African Studies at Zhejiang Normal University, and 63 scholars from 50 African countries sent a joint letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping, highly commending the historic achievements of FOCAC and expressing hope that the FOCAC summit would write a new chapter in building a China-Africa community with a shared future and the joint modernization of the Global South.

The Chinese and African scholars should continue to provide important intellectual support for building a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future and safeguarding the common interests of the Global South, President Xi stressed on August 27 in a reply to these scholars.

CGTN interviewed Grobler and other scholars to get their views on China-Africa cooperation in various fields. Let's hear the story of "a letter in reply."
