非媒:中非合作“绿”意盎然 “蓝”图绘就,为更美好未来筑牢基础
中国日报网8月22日电 2024年中非合作论坛峰会将于9月4日至6日在北京举行,此次峰会将聚焦于加强中非间的合作。肯尼亚广播公司(KBC)17日刊文报道,2000年中非合作论坛(FOCAC)的成立标志着中非关系翻开了新的篇章。近年来,中非合作硕果累累,在多个领域取得了丰硕成果,其中绿色能源和蓝色经济合作尤为引人注目。
能源向“绿”转型,助力非洲可持续发展
缺乏现代能源服务是非洲和整个“全球南方”发展的主要障碍。近年来,非洲将绿色能源开发确定为一个具有巨大潜力的领域,并积极寻求国际合作。中国一直是非洲绿色转型路上的重要伙伴,在中非合作论坛框架下,中国多次强调支持非洲发展可再生能源项目,并积极提供资金和技术支持。
文章指出,中国在肯尼亚加里萨地区建设的风力发电项目,彻底改变了该地区能源供应状况,为当地企业发展和吸引投资提供了保障。自2000年以来,中国已为撒哈拉以南非洲地区约三分之一的新并网可再生能源容量提供了支持,帮助肯尼亚在扩大可再生能源方面取得了巨大进展。
在埃塞俄比亚,中国支持建设的阿达玛风电项目,使可再生能源目前占埃塞俄比亚电力装机容量的近90%,大大提高了该国的能源独立性,并满足了该国日益增长的能源需求。
“蓝”色经济联动,绘就美好未来
海洋连接着各国,同时也承载着无限希望。近年来,在《“一带一路”建设海上合作设想》和《“一带一路”蓝色合作倡议》的框架下,中国与非洲建立了蓝色伙伴关系,并取得了显著成果。
2021年中非合作论坛第八届部长级会议发布的《中非合作2035年愿景》中,蓝色经济合作被列为“新的增长点”,能够“增值和可持续利用海洋资源”。该领域的基础设施项目为非洲创造了许多就业机会,并有助于为当地培训急需的工程师、技术人员和其他熟练专业人员。
中非合作前景光明
文章最后指出,在中肯建交61周年之际,肯尼亚应该向中国学习成功的经济战略,例如倡导尊重多样文明,开展国际交流;中国对长城和兵马俑等历史遗迹的保护,也为肯尼亚促进本国旅游业发展和创造就业机会提供了借鉴。
中非合作的“绿”意盎然和“蓝”图绘就,为双方共同构建更美好未来奠定了坚实基础,也为全球可持续发展贡献了力量。相信在未来的合作中,中非双方将继续携手共进,共同开创更加美好的未来。

African Media: China-Africa Cooperation Flourishes with Green Initiatives and Blueprints for a Brighter Future
China Daily, August 22,2024 – The 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit will be held in Beijing from September 4th to 6th, focusing on strengthening cooperation between China and Africa. Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) reported on August 17th that the establishment of FOCAC in 2000 marked a new chapter in China-Africa relations. In recent years, China-Africa cooperation has yielded fruitful results in various fields, with green energy and blue economy cooperation being particularly noteworthy.
Green Energy Transition, Powering Africa’s Sustainable Development
Lack of modernenergy services is a major obstacle to development in Africa and the entire “Global South.” In recent years, Africa has identified green energy development as an area with immense potential and actively sought international cooperation. China has been a key partner in Africa’s green transition journey. Under the FOCAC framework, China has repeatedly emphasized itssupport for Africa’s development of renewable energy projects and actively provided financial and technical assistance.
The article highlights the wind power project built by China in Garissa, Kenya, which has completely transformed the region’s energy supply, providing a guarantee for local business development and investment attraction. Since 2000,China has supported approximately one-third of the new grid-connected renewable energy capacity in sub-Saharan Africa, helping Kenya make significant progress in expanding renewable energy.
In Ethiopia, the Adama wind power project supported by China has enabled renewable energy to account for nearly 90% of Ethiopia’s installed power capacity,significantly enhancing the country’s energy independence and meeting its growing energy demand.
Blue Economy Collaboration, Painting a Brighter Future
The ocean connects nations and holds boundless hope. In recent years, under the framework of the “Belt and Road Initiative for Maritime Cooperation” and the “Belt and Road Initiative for BlueCooperation,” China and Africa have established a blue partnership and achieved remarkable results.
The “Vision for China-Africa Cooperation 2035” released at the 8th Ministerial Conference of the FOCAC in 2021 listed blue economy cooperation as a “new growth point” that can “add valueand sustainably utilize marine resources.” Infrastructure projects in this field have created numerous jobs in Africa and helped train urgently needed engineers, technicians, and other skilled professionals locally.
Bright Prospects for China-Africa Cooperation
The article concludes that on the 61st anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Kenya, Kenya should learn from China’s successful economic strategies, such as advocating for respect for diverse civilizations and engaging in international exchanges. China’s protection of historical sites like the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army also provides a reference for Kenya to promote its tourism industry and create job opportunities.
The flourishing green initiatives andblueprints for the blue economy in China-Africa cooperation have laid a solid foundation for both sides to jointly build a brighter future, contributing to global sustainable development. It is believed that in future cooperation, China and Africa will continue to work hand in hand to create a more prosperous future.
