当前,国际形势发生深刻复杂变化,新兴和发展中经济体成为推动世界经济发展的重要力量。中国与非洲国家顺应形势变化,在中非合作论坛框架内不断深化中非新型战略伙伴关系,大力推动经贸合作,积极探索符合中非实际的共同发展之路。
目前中国已成为非洲最大贸易伙伴国,非洲成为中国重要的进口来源地、第二大海外工程承包市场和第四大投资目的地。中非经贸合作的发展,促进了非洲国家民生的改善和经济的多元化发展,为中国经济社会发展提供了有力支持,也为促进南南合作与世界经济的平衡发展作出了积极贡献。
通过中非双方共同努力,中非经贸合作基础更加坚实、机制更加完善,不断涌现新的合作契合点和增长点。特别是2013年3月,中国国家主席习近平访问非洲,宣布一系列支持非洲发展的新举措,为推动中非经贸关系迈上新台阶注入了强大动力。
Currently, as the international situation undergoes profound and intricate changes, newly emerging and developing economies have become the major force pushing forward the world's economic development. In tune with the changes in the international environment, China and African countries are, within the framework of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), continuing to deepen the new type of China-Africa strategic partnership, vigorously advancing economic and trade cooperation, and actively exploring a common path that reflects both China's and Africa's realities.
China has become Africa's largest trade partner, and Africa is now China's major import source, second largest overseas construction project contract market and fourth largest investment destination. China-Africa economic and trade development has improved people's livelihoods and diversified economic development in African countries, provided strong support for China's socio-economic development, and contributed to promoting South-South cooperation and balanced world economic development.
Through the common efforts of China and Africa, bilateral economic and trade cooperation now enjoys a consolidated foundation and improved mechanisms, with new common interests and growth points in cooperation constantly emerging. In March 2013, China's President Xi Jinping visited Africa and announced a series of new measures to support Africa's development, providing a powerful impetus for the advancement of China-Africa economic and trade relations.
2010年,中国政府发布了白皮书,介绍了中非经贸合作的有关情况。这里,就近些年来中非经贸合作取得的进展再作一介绍。
一、推动贸易可持续发展
近年来,在全球经济复苏乏力的背景下,中非贸易仍然持续了较快发展的态势。2009年,中国成为非洲第一大贸易伙伴国。此后两年多时间里,中非贸易规模迅速扩大。2012年,中国与非洲贸易总额达到1984.9亿美元,同比增长19.3%。其中,中国对非洲出口额853.19亿美元,增长16.7%;自非洲进口额1131.71亿美元,增长21.4%。中非贸易总额、中国对非洲出口总额,以及自非洲进口总额均创历史新高。
In 2010, the Chinese government published a white paper on China-Africa economic and trade cooperation. This latest white paper provides a further introduction to the progress of bilateral economic and trade cooperation in recent years.
I. Promoting Sustainable Development of Trade
Against the background of sluggish global economic recovery in recent years, China-Africa trade development has maintained comparatively rapid momentum. In 2009, China became Africa's No. 1 trade partner. In the following two years, the scale of China-Africa trade expanded rapidly. In 2012, the total volume of China-Africa trade reached US$198.49 billion, a year-on-year growth of 19.3%. Of this, US$85.319 billion consisted of China's exports to Africa, up 16.7%, and US$113.171 billion was contributed by China's imports from Africa, up 21.4%. Total China-Africa trade volume, China's export volume to Africa and China's import volume from Africa all reached new highs.
