Though far away from each other in distance， relations between China and African countries have moved ever closer in recent years. No doubt， inter-party exchange has played an important part in this process. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949， the Communist Party of China （CPC）， China’s ruling Party， has maintained friendly relations with its counterparts in African countries， greatly promoting cooperation in various fields between China and Africa.
At the beginning of the year， Ai Ping， Vice Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee， sat down with ChinAfrica to talk about his views on inter-party exchanges between China and African countries， and to outline his work for the new year.
ChinAfrica： The 18th CPC National Congress， held in November 2012， elected new leaders of the Party. how， in your opinion， will this leadership transition influence China-Africa relations？
Ai Ping： The Report to the 18th CPC National Congress， by then Party General Secretary Hu Jintao， says that China “will increase unity and cooperation with other developing countries，” and “will remain a reliable friend and sincere partner to other developing countries.” No doubt， the “developing countries” mentioned here also include African countries.
It has been the Chinese Government’s consistent policy to pursue China-Africa friendship and establish a new type of strategic partnership between China and Africa. This policy will by no means change after the CPC leadership transition.
In fact， many of the new Party leaders have a deep understanding of Africa and SinoAfrican relations， as they have been to Africa on several occasions. For instance， the newly-elected General Secretary Xi Jinping has been to Africa five times.
I think our new leaders will focus more on Africa， its development and the China-Africa cooperation. While visiting South Africa， Angola and Botswana in November 2010， Xi reiterated on many occasions the important position of Africa in China’s diplomatic policies， saying that China would like to make joint efforts with African countries to advance the new type of strategic partnership.
The Fifth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation （FOCAC）， held in Beijing in July 2012， put forward new measures to promote Sino-African cooperation over the next three years， with a focus on infrastructure， agriculture， the manufacturing sector and the development of small and medium enterprises in Africa.
