3.8.10 China will continue to enhance cooperation with African financial regulators in
such fields as banknote printing and minting, and combating money laundering and
financing of terrorism, to safeguard the stable and healthy operation and development of
Chinese and African financial systems.
3.8.11 China notes with appreciation that the Africa Development Bank has become a
major institution for the financing and implementation of Agenda 2063 of the AU and an
important platform for policy coordination among African countries. China welcomes the
efforts of international financial institutions including the Africa Development Bank to
make active use of the Multilateral Cooperation Center for Development Finance (MCDF)
to enhance information sharing, support early-stage project preparations and strengthen
capacity building. China will encourage the China-IMF Capacity Development Center and
IMF regional capacity development centers to play a bigger role in providing technical
assistance for Africa.
4. Social Development Cooperation
4.1 Development Cooperation
4.1.1 The African side commends China for its long-standing commitment to
development cooperation with Africa in the spirit of equality, mutual trust, mutual benefits,
solidarity and mutual support, and provision of assistance to African countries and people
to the best of its abilities without any political strings attached. Guided by the vision of a
community with a shared future for mankind, China will continue to uphold justice while
pursuing shared interests, increase assistance to African countries, LDCs in particular,
and support African countries in achieving development benefiting their peoples with
sustainable prosperity and welfare.
4.1.2 The African side applauds China’s efforts in supporting African countries to reduce
poverty, improve people’s lives, expand employment, remove development bottlenecks
and implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in ways of complete
projects, provision of goods, technical cooperation, human resources development,
setting up the Assistance Fund for South-South Cooperation and sending medical teams,
among others. China will continue to share more of its development experience with
Africa, further diversify cooperation methods, improve efficiency, carry out more
livelihood-related projects, and support African countries in tapping into their growth
potential to better realize Agenda 2063 of the AU.
4.1.3 China will, in light of the actual needs and conditions of the African side, continue to
offer grants, interest-free loans and concessional loans to Africa. China calls for stronger
actions by all relevant parties of the international community to ease the debt burden of
African countries and effectively support them to achieve independent and sustainable
development. China will exmpt African LDCs from debt incurred in the form of interestfree government loans due by the end of 2021 for the least developed countries.
