As Steven Gruzd, head of the African Governance and Diplomacy Programme and the Russia-Africa Project at the South African Institute of International Affairs, said during our research visit that China is the largest developing country, and Africa is the continent with the most developing nations. The two sides joining hands will strengthen the developing world and accelerate the evolution toward a multipolar world.
The developments in the world call for a more just and equitable global order. China, the world"s second largest economy, and Africa, a continent with 54 members of the United Nations, should jointly advance the reform of the global governance system, including the UN, the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund, and build an international order that can better represent the interests of developing nations, and reflect the trend of human progress.
China is an ancient oriental civilization, and Africa also has its distinctive civilizations. So, the two sides learning from each other and developing together is of great significance for building a world featuring a diversity of civilizations. China has explored a path to modernization suitable for its national conditions, setting an example for other developing countries to pursue modernization. China"s success has provided an alternative to the Western-style modernization characterized by colonization and plunder.
