3.2.11 The two sides will deepen cooperation in the field of logistics, and harness
modern ICT and enhance logistic information sharing, so as to jointly build African
logistic infrastructure, and provide stable and smooth logistics services for China-Africa
trade. The two sides will strengthen information exchange and technological cooperation,
promote alignment of transportation infrastructure standards and mutual recognition of
transport technologies and professional qualifications of management personnel.
3.2.12 The two sides recognize that global coordination and integration of radio
frequency and satellite orbit resources are conducive to the in-depth information
technology cooperation and the global development of relevant industries. Under the
framework of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the two sides will enhance
communication and cooperation in the field of radio spectrum management and actively
coordinate their positions on topics of mutual interest in the World Radio communication
Conference (WRC).
3.3 Industrial Partnership and Production Capacity Cooperation
3.3.1 Building on the industrial promotion initiative launched in 2018, and the China-Africa
industrial plan and agricultural modernization plans launched in 2015, as well as from the
African side the newly launched AfCFTA, the African Union's continental ten-year plan
frameworks in particular the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme
(CAADP), Africa Mining Vision (AMV) and Accelerated lndustrial Development for Africa
(AIDA), China reiterates its commitment to seeing inclusive growth in Africa to achieve its
aspiration to become the world's third largest economy by 2063.
3.3.2 The two sides will make best use of industrial capacity cooperation mechanisms,
continue to improve the cooperation mechanism featuring enterprises as the mainstay,
market operation and government guidance, and draw on the complementarity of their
development needs to promote upgrading of China-Africa cooperation projects to realize
cluster, scale, industrialized and localized development, thus leveling up the productive
capacity of African countries. China will undertake 10 industrialization and employment
promotion assistance projects for Africa.
3.3.3 The two sides will take into account African countries’ disparity in natural
endowments and industrial development levels, enhance production capacity cooperation
in light of local realities in such fields of resource-intensive sectors (e.g., food, drink,
tobacco, timber, building materials), labor-intensive sectors (e.g., textile, garment, leather,
metal), technology- or capital-intensive sectors (e.g., pharmaceutical, chemical,
automobile, machinery, equipment manufacturing, electronic, science and technology),
and encourage enterprises to explore extending to emerging areas such as modern
services, new energy development, green manufacturing, and information and
communication sectors.
3.3.4 The two sides will continue to support Chinese enterprises in increasing
investments in medium and high-technology manufacturing, energy and electricity, digital
infrastructure development, digital economy and aviation and aerospace sectors, to help
