Africa and China: Turning FOCAC's Strategic Upgrades Into Real Outcomes
As African and Chinese leaders gathered once again in Changsha in June 2025 for the Ministerial Meeting of Coordinators on the Implementation of the Follow-up Actions of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), the momentum from last year's landmark Beijing Summit was unmistakable. With representatives from 53 African countries in attendance, the September 2024 Beijing Summit was a diplomatic milestone – hailed as the most successful Africa+1 summit ever held. Outside the big conference hall, China's President Xi Jinping met one-on-one with leaders from 40 African nations on bilateral agendas. But beyond the red carpets and formalities, the Beijing Summit marked a new chapter – one in which Africa's voice grows louder and its strategy sharper. For African leaders, one of most significant outcomes was the upgrade of the overall Africa-China relationship to an 'all weather partnership' and every single Africa-China bilateral relationship to at least a 'strategic partnership,' with several achieving even higher designations. This may sound like diplomatic jargon, but the implications are tangible. The 'strategic' designation in a bilateral partnership means collaboration goes far beyond ad hoc cooperation on individual projects or sectors, and both sides would embed their collaboration within development plans with institutionalized mechanisms to ensure follow-through. Such strategically framed cooperation is built to weather external shocks, from regional instability to global market swings, and encompasses high‑level coordination on peace and security as well as structured consensus‑building on international governance. A review of the outcomes from implementing the 2024 Beijing Action Plan shows that the diplomatic elevation of Africa-China ties is already translating into tangible results. One notable shift is on trade: in a move that goes far beyond the limited impact of last December's pledge to remove tariffs on exports from African Least Developed Countries (LDCs), China has now eliminated all remaining tariffs on goods from 53 African countries with which Beijing has diplomatic ties. This move contrasts sharply with recent U.S. trade measures that have imposed tariffs as high as 50 percent on African exports. On investment, the numbers are equally telling: between the September 2024 Beijing summit and March 2025, new investment from Chinese enterprises in Africa reached 13.38 billion yuan ($1.87 billion), alongside 130 billion yuan in financing and 140 billion yuan in insurance support for African development projects. These shifts confirm that upgraded ties are not merely symbolic – they are shaping resource flows and market access in real time. And yet, here's the key point: the significance of these gains hinges on whether African countries can make them matter. As our data at Development Reimagined shows, upgrades often coincide with summit years or top-leadership visits, but what truly drives elevation is consistent, substantive engagement. Angola is a clear example. After establishing a strategic partnership in 2010 during then-Vice President Xi Jinping's visit, Angola joined the Belt and Road Initiative in 2018, aligning its development strategy with China's global vision. In March 2024, following President João Lourenço's visit to Beijing, the relationship was elevated to a 'comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership,' which is a top-tier status that builds on shared long-term strategic goals – sometimes with joint timelines for delivery – and includes targeted commitments in sectors like infrastructure, energy, and development finance, as well as consensus on regional and global governance issues. For 35 years in a row, China's foreign minister has visited Africa on the first overseas trip at the start of the calendar year. The pattern continued in 2025, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi's tour of Namibia, the Republic of Congo, Chad, and Nigeria reinforcing shared priorities in infrastructure, industrialization, and trade. These visits were soon followed by more detailed bilateral agreements – such as the signing of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with Congo, and a strategic cooperation agreement on agro-processing and industrial park development with Namibia during the recent Changsha meeting. Crucially, it's not only Africa's largest economies that saw upgrades. Madagascar, for example, had already achieved a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership as early as 2017, a signal of recognition for its long-term cooperation under Belt and Road Initiative and a focus on agricultural innovation. Hybrid rice technology and shared research hubs are not minor add-ons to the relationship – they're the future of climate-smart food sovereignty. Likewise, Rwanda's elevation during last FOCAC has leveraged innovation in modernizing agricultural productivity and promoted exports such as coffee and chili to the Chinese market. In short, China is responsive to proactive African engagement. The new structure of relations reflects demand, not charity. This opens a clear opportunity – but also a challenge. African states must now sharpen their strategies to maximize the new framework. The Beijing Action Plan speaks broadly about shared goals, but implementation depends on country-specific proposals and clarity. If a country wants better trade access, it needs to make the case with data, readiness, and product consistency. If it seeks support for industrial upgrading, it must show how it will create jobs and value, not just import factories. Nigeria offers a clear example of how strategic upgrades can serve as a springboard – but only when matched with a clear national agenda. Although its strategic partnership with China dates back to 2005, the relationship remained largely quiet until 2024. The inauguration of the China-Nigeria Intergovernmental Committee in June – co-chaired by Foreign Ministers Wang Yi and Yusuf Tuggar – marked a shift toward more structured engagement. Since then, follow-up has gained momentum, aligning with Nigeria's goal of shifting from a net importer of Chinese goods to a competitive exporter. One key outcome was the China-Nigeria three-year cooperation plan (covering 2024–2026) prioritizing energy, mining, and metallurgy, with a focus on deepening value addition and upgrading Nigeria's industrial base. Another achievement was the renewal of a 15 billion yuan currency swap agreement. Already, the contours of these ambitions are taking shape. Multiple bilateral deals signed during FOCAC promise greater infrastructure investment, from ports and railways to energy corridors. Notably, renewable energy featured prominently. Botswana has launched a Chinese-financed 100MW solar plant, Uganda and Tanzania have advanced major hydropower stations, and wind projects are progressing in Egypt, Mauritania, and Zimbabwe. These early movers reflect how some countries are already leveraging upgraded ties to drive their green industrial agendas. In health, COVID-19's legacy has galvanized a shift toward joint vaccine production, medical logistics, and regional public health infrastructure. Digital infrastructure and e-commerce platforms were also on the table, recognizing that Africa's growth must now be digitally-enabled. Still, the weight of these opportunities varies by preparedness. Countries that enter these upgraded partnerships with clear development blueprints – rooted in national plans and continental frameworks like Agenda 2063 – are more likely to see benefits flow. Others risk symbolic upgrades that fail to translate into impact. There is also a growing concern about Chinese stakeholders advancing projects without deep African involvement, which may lead to misplaced investments and local pushback. That's why strategic planning at the national level is now more urgent than ever. The next phase of China-Africa cooperation will of course be led from Beijing but also shaped in national ministries, regional blocs, and African cities and towns where real implementation occurs. What's promising is that many African governments are learning from one another. Whether it's the expansion of borehole projects improving water access in Rwanda and Zimbabwe through Chinese aid, Ethiopia's industrial zones transforming manufacturing capacity, or Tanzania's surge in sesame exports and production since the introduction of the 'Green Lane' initiative, there are valuable lessons emerging across the continent. FOCAC can – and should – be more than a talking shop. It can become a platform where African countries negotiate not just with China, but also learn to negotiate better with each other, building regional value chains and leveraging collective priorities. FOCAC 2024 marked a milestone, but 2025 is the year that will test whether upgraded ties can deliver real outcomes. As China deepens engagement with other regions – through summits with Latin America, Central Asia, and beyond – Africa must sharpen its own value proposition. African policymakers must ask: what do these upgraded ties mean for us now? More importantly, how do we move from diplomatic words to domestic wins? The tools are there. The action plan is ongoing. The ball, now, is in Africa's court.

Echoes of Bandung as China and Africa rally towards high-quality cooperation
Gideon H Chitanga | Published 4 hours ago The Ministerial Meeting of Coordinators on the Implementation of the Follow-up Actions of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was held in Changsha, central China's Hunan province. The Changsha meeting, held last month, invoked the spirit of Bandung, calling the Global South to unite in confronting contemporary global instability embedded in historical structural injustices that have exploited disunity within the Global South. China is the world's second-largest economy, while the African continent is home to the largest number of developing countries. With an estimated combined population of over three billion people, Africa and China together form the backbone of the Global South, and a significant demographic and economic share of the world. While the two sides have immensely stronger diplomatic and economic ties over the past two decades, and share decades of closer mutual solidarity, complex and turbulent geopolitical factors pose major threats to flourishing cooperation. Intra-state conflicts in some African countries have aggravated economic and political pressures on continental development and international cooperation. A combination of amplified geopolitical tensions and conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, Israel and the people of Palestine, and now Israel and Iran has raised the prospects of unprecedented global instability. The unilateral imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration on major trading partners, including China and countries in the African continent, risks upending global trade with severe consequences for developing countries. Most economies in the Global South will be vulnerable to economic shocks from heightened global inflation and the economic weight of external debts tied to the US dollar. These countries will also be squeezed for new capital to meet domestic development needs. The Changsha meeting, which aimed to push for the full implementation of the FOCAC Beijing Summit outcomes, reemphasised the need for countries in the Global South to work together. The meeting was attended by representatives of the People's Republic of China, 53 African countries and representatives of the African Union Commission. The delegates at the high-level gathering concluded with the signing of the Changsha Declaration, which in many ways invokes the spirit of the Bandung conference of 1955 in calling for deepened cooperation and solidarity in the Global South. As published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, the Changsha Declaration states, 'Guided by the consensus reached by our leaders during the 2024 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), gathered in Changsha to advance the full implementation of the Beijing Declaration on Jointly Building an All-Weather China-Africa Community with a Shared Future for the New Era: We agree that the rise and growth of the Global South represents the trend of the times and the future of development. China and Africa are both important members of and staunch forces in the Global South.' The Changsha meeting and the subsequent declaration reflect growing unity and cooperation between China, Africa and the Global South, which was historically demonstrated at the Bandung conference in 1955 at the height of colonialism and the Cold War. The Bandung Conference was a landmark meeting which brought together 29 newly independent African states and Asian countries to discuss common challenges and promote cooperation in the face of international polarisation and oppressive hegemonic dominance. Considering the pervasive challenge of Western colonial and neo-colonial domination, which parallels contemporary neoliberal unilateral hegemony, the Bandung Conference continues to resonate with the aspirations of the Global South for economic and political freedom and the need to deepen cooperation and solidarity among the global majority. Its ground breaking 10-point "declaration on the promotion of world peace and cooperation," incorporating the principles of the United Nations Charter, and such principles as political self-determination, respect for national sovereignty amongst nations, non-aggression, non-interference in internal affairs, and equality laid the groundwork for the Non-Aligned Movement , and stands out as the basis for peaceful coexistence in the world. The Changsha declaration reignited the spirit of Bandung by reemphasising the need for unity, solidarity, deepened cooperation and self-reliance amongst countries in the Global South. Its declaration reinvents and locates the principles of the Bandung conference at the centre of efforts by the Global South to confront emerging challenges in a turbulent world. The Changsha declaration calls all countries of the Global South to work together to safeguard multilateralism, promote multipolarity and oppose unilateralism and bullying. It rejects the unilateral imposition of sweeping tariffs by the Trump administration on trading partners. Such protectionist policies and economic bullying could throw the global economy into jeopardy, triggering economic and political instability in developing countries. The declaration also called all countries to work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity, promote the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI) and the Global Civilisation Initiative (GCI). These initiatives have brought together the Global South to collectively work towards a more just and equal global community of nations, promoting fair multilateralism in which all countries, nations and diverse civilisations are mutually respected. The Changsha declaration strongly reaffirms the principles of solidarity, cooperation and mutual benefit, which underpin China-Africa relations, and makes a powerful statement against attempts to divide the Global South. It further reinforces growing China-Africa and unity within the Global South as bigger powers exercise responsible leadership. While some major powers have embarked on a nationalistic posture, imposing tariffs and cutting aid to the most vulnerable and historically disadvantaged countries, China has steadily increased its support towards the sustainable development and modernisation of Africa and the Global South. For instance, China has committed to expanding its zero-tariff treatment on 100 percent of tariff lines to all 53 African countries with which it has diplomatic relations. Beijing has also extended its support for green energy, AI, science, and technology initiatives in Africa and the Global South. The holding of the 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE) under the theme, "China and Africa: Together Toward Modernisation", signifies a shift towards the consolidation of relations of China-Africa cooperation. The Trade Expo highlighted progress towards the 'Ten Partner Actions' of FOCAC 2024. African countries such as the Congo Republic, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and Nigeria showcased their agricultural, mining and construction industry products, demonstrating deepening mutually beneficial China-Africa economic cooperation. The theme of the Expo aligned with the China-Africa "Ten Action Plans", including cultural and people-to-people exchange, trade, industrial cooperation, connectivity, health, agriculture, green development, and security, to dovetail into the goals agreed at the FOCAC 2024. It also focused on green development goals and industries, renewables and "zero carbon exhibition", highlighting the shift towards climate-friendly development, a major issue in the demand for global social, environmental and economic justice. As can be summed up from the five-point proposal made by Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister of China during the Changsha gathering, the perilous contemporary economic and political global context calls for consolidated cooperation amongst the nations of the Global South. Wang Yi rallied African counterparts to work together in fostering mutual assistance, to defend and deepen solidarity amongst countries of the Global South, advance economic openness and international free trade promoting fair economic globalization. He urged China and Africa to work together towards human progress, centred on mutually beneficial cooperation bearing win-win outcomes, based on mutual trust and respect. As echoed at Bandung, it's unity and cooperation, or we perish. Gideon H Chitanga, PhD, is an International Relations Expert and political analyst

Feature: Chinese medical team brings free healthcare to Uganda's remote border district
KIKUUBE, Uganda, June 28 (Xinhua) -- As the sun rose over the Rift Valley escarpment in Uganda's remote western district of Kikuube, 45-year-old Jennifer Nyangoma made her way to a much-anticipated free medical camp. For weeks, villagers in this region bordering the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo had heard of a healthcare outreach organized by a Chinese medical team from Kampala, more than 300 kilometers away. The team, comprising cardiologists, pediatricians, general surgeons, acupuncture specialists and public health experts from the 24th Chinese medical team, was joined by over 20 Ugandan medical professionals. As they set up at Buhuka Health Center III, a community-level facility serving over 10,000 people, Nyangoma was among the first in line. After her diagnosis, doctors recommended acupuncture, a traditional Chinese needle therapy. "The doctors have checked me and said they are going to insert several needles in me. I received the treatment and I hope I will get better. I have moved to several health facilities, but I continue to suffer from joint and back pain," Nyangoma told Xinhua. By midday, hundreds had gathered in the sheltered waiting area. Among them was 30-year-old Evelyn Atuhura and her three children. "By 7 a.m., I was already up preparing the children to come here. My children have not been very well. The Chinese have given us treatment, and I really thank them," she said as she received medication. Linard Kule, acting in-charge of the health center, said the camp not only provides critical care and medical supplies but also fosters knowledge exchange between Chinese and Ugandan health professionals. Li Yun, head of the Chinese medical team, said the camp aims to serve about 1,000 people. "We also learnt a lot from our Ugandan colleagues. I am inspired by the resilience of local healthcare workers providing services in such a remote area with limited resources," said the Chinese doctor. The annual camp is organized by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), which is developing the nearby Kingfisher oil project. Hu Weijie, acting president of CNOOC Uganda Limited, said the initiative reflects the company's long-term commitment to the health and well-being of local residents. "Since the initiative started, thousands have received critical medical care," Hu said, adding that as CNOOC develops Uganda's oil and gas sector, it remains equally focused on the health and safety of the people. "Health is not only a basic human right, it is also the foundation for strong families, productive communities, and sustainable national growth," he said. Public health cooperation is a key part of the 10 partnership actions announced at the 2024 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, said Fan Xuecheng, minister counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in Uganda. "China pledged to help build more hospitals across Africa, continue sending medical teams, enhance joint disease prevention and control, and expand access to essential medicines and medical training," Fan said. "This represents not only China's commitment to Africa's health sector but our belief in building a shared future where development and dignity go hand in hand." He said that Chinese medical teams have provided consultations to hundreds of thousands of people in Uganda since 1983, supported local hospitals, and trained health workers. "In both urban centers and rural communities, Chinese doctors have worked shoulder to shoulder with Ugandan colleagues to improve lives. The team present here today continues this proud tradition, offering not only equipment and care, but also hope, sincerity, and solidarity," Fan said.

China, Africa push implementation of FOCAC Beijing Summit outcomes
SEENEWS (Xinhua) Representatives of China, 53 African countries and the African Union Commission gathered in Changsha on Wednesday to advance the full implementation of the outcomes achieved at the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). At the opening ceremony of the Ministerial Meeting of Coordinators on the Implementation of the Follow-up Actions of the FOCAC, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his counterpart of the Republic of the Congo Jean-Claude Gakosso read out the congratulatory letters from their heads of state. The Republic of the Congo is the African co-chair of the FOCAC. Chinese President Xi Jinping expounded in the letter the significance of China-Africa solidarity and cooperation and announced important measures for further opening up and cooperation with Africa, which Wang said provide important guidance for both sides as they seek to jointly promote modernization and build an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era. The FOCAC has grown rapidly in the 25 years since its establishment, leading China-Africa relations to achieve leapfrog development and enter the best period in history. Both sides have made solid progress in the implementation of the 10 partnership actions for modernization announced at the FOCAC Beijing Summit held last September, according to Wang. China and Africa, as the largest developing country and the continent with the highest concentration of developing countries, are emerging as pivotal forces of the Global South, Wang said. "Faced with an international situation marked by changes and turmoil, China and Africa should uphold solidarity and self-reliance more than ever," he said, calling on both sides to respond to uncertainties in the world with a stable and resilient China-Africa relationship. Both sides should preserve solidarity of the Global South, champion international free trade, support global development cooperation, defend a just international order and promote civilizational diversity, he said. Wang said the 21st century is as much Asia's century as it is Africa's, adding that as long as the more than 2.8 billion people of China and Africa work together, they will surely achieve brilliant progress in the path to modernization. On behalf of the African countries, Gakosso said African countries thank China for supporting their development, welcome the 10 partnership actions for modernization, and support the China-Africa Cooperation Vision 2035. He added that the African countries are willing to implement the outcomes of the Beijing Summit to help the African people realize their aspiration for a better life. The African side opposes the act of abusing tariffs and unilateral sanctions and will stand with China to jointly deal with challenges, Gakosso said. The meeting issued China-Africa Changsha Declaration On Upholding Solidarity and Cooperation of the Global South. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
