中国与非盟及非洲次区域组织一道，在基础设施、农业、人员培训等传统领域，以及金融、减灾、知识产权等新兴领域展开密切合作。中国非盟关系是中非新型战略伙伴关系的重要组成部分。从20世纪70年代起，中国就陆续向非统/非盟提供了现汇、物资、成套项目、培训等多种形式的援助。2011年，非盟委员会正式加入中非合作论坛，双方合作更加密切。2012年1月，作为近年中国在非最大援建项目的非盟会议中心正式落成，中国宣布未来三年将向非盟提供6亿元人民币援助。

    　近年来，中国与非洲地区组织和机构的合作不断加强，且日趋制度化、机制化。2011年以来，中国先后与东非共同体、西非国家经济共同体签署了《经贸合作框架协议》，共同开展在贸易便利化、直接投资、跨境基础设施、发展援助等方面的合作。金融合作方面，中国是非洲开发银行、西非开发银行和东南非贸易与开发银行的成员国。自加入以来，中国已向非洲开发银行的软贷款窗口——非洲开发基金累计承诺捐资6.15亿美元，并参与了非洲开发基金多边减债行动，支持非洲减贫和区域一体化。中国国家开发银行与南部非洲开发银行签署了《开发性金融合作协议》；并与西非开发银行签署6000万欧元专项授信贷款协议，用于支持西非经济货币联盟国家内中小企业发展。中国进出口银行、农业银行等分别与非洲开发银行签订了合作框架协议，就基础项目融资、中小企业发展等问题开展合作。此外，中国还与非洲地区知识产权组织等机构达成相关协议，为推动中非经贸关系向更高水平迈进奠定基础。

China works closely with the AU and African sub-regional organizations not only in traditional areas like infrastructure construction, agriculture and personnel training, but also in emerging fields like finance, disaster reduction and intellectual property. The relationship between China and the AU plays an important role in the China-Africa new-type strategic partnership. Early in the 1970s, China started to provide the Organization of African Unity (OAU, now AU) with assistance in a variety of forms, including money, materials, turn-key projects and training. Since the AU Commission joined the FOCAC in 2011, cooperation between China and the AU has been enhanced. China's largest construction aid project in Africa, the AU Conference Center, was inaugurated in January 2012, at which time the Chinese government decided to provide 600 million yuan in aid to the AU over the next three years.

In recent years, cooperation between China and African regional organizations has been strengthened and become institutionalized. Since 2011, the Chinese government has signed Framework Agreements on Economic and Trade Cooperation with both the East African Community (EAC) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), to expand cooperation in promoting trade facilitation, direct investment, cross-border infrastructure construction and development aid. Evidence of China's efforts in the area of financial cooperation includes China's status as a member state of the African Development Bank (AfDB), the West African Development Bank, and the Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank. China has promised to contribute 615 million U.S. dollars to the African Development Fund (ADF), which is the soft-loan window of the AfDB, and has actively participated in the ADF's Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative to support poverty reduction and regional integration in Africa. The China Development Bank (CDB) has signed an Agreement on Development Financing Cooperation with the Development Bank of Southern Africa, and an agreement to loan 60 million Euros to the West African Development Bank for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in countries belonging to the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The Export-Import Bank of China and the Agricultural Bank of China have both signed cooperation framework agreements with the AfDB to cooperate on infrastructure project financing and the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, China has reached relevant agreements with African intellectual property organizations, laying a solid foundation for the advancement of China-Africa economic and trade relations.
