世界是平的，但发展不是。

全球第五次产业大转移，非洲是洼地。世界经济新轮结构调整，非洲各国或可像中国当年，承接国际产业和产能转移，成为拉动世界经济新的增长极。联合国开发计划署2016年发布的(非洲经济展望》指出，2050年非洲三分之二人口将居住在城市中。在城市化的浪潮中，非洲的经济能量不可低估。

21世纪，世界的亮点在非洲。

这片古老、富饶、美丽与充满希望的土地，既是古人类和古文明的重要源头，更是当今世界最年轻的大陆。约12亿入口，近半在18岁以下。到2030年，非洲儿童预计将增加1.7亿，18岁以下人口将达7.5 亿(资料来源:联合国儿童基金会2017年10月26日发布报告《2030年的非洲一代人2.0:优先投资儿童以获得人口红利》。

这里是地球上自然资源最丰富的大陆，是经济发展速度最快的大陆，是发展潜力最大的大陆。非洲，正在成为下一个迅速兴起的巨大市场。21世纪的机会在非洲。

中非历来是命运共同体。

习近平主常2015年12月在中非合作论坛约翰内斯堡峰会上的讲话铿锵有力:将中非新型战略伙伴关系提升为全面战略合作伙伴关系，并为此做强和夯实“五大支柱”..着力支持非洲破解基础设施滞后、人才不足、资金短缺三大发展瓶颈，加快工业化和农业现代化进程。

言犹在耳。2017年10月中共十九大开幕，习近平总书记报告指出:积极促进“-带一路”国际合-.加大对发展中国家特别是最不发达国家援助力度，促进缩小南北发展差距。

“一带一路”倡议犹如春风，好风借力，助推中国产能转移、中国企业走出去，开拓非洲沃土。

实际上，据麦肯锡2017年发布的最新研究报告称，中国如今在非洲的参与程度之深，没有哪个国家能够匹敌。报告估算，目前在非洲的中国企业已超过1万家，是此前预测数据的四倍，约90%是民营和私营企业，其中又有三分之一-从事制造业。

长恨春归无觅处，不知转入此中来。

非洲三千万平方公里，54个国家，拥有丰富的农业、油气、矿产、森林、耕地和水利资源，中、非两个市场高度互补，互为需要，发展战略高度契合，合作互有优势。非洲，已成中国企业走向海外转型升级的蓝海市场。

警如地处西非的多哥，就如一只指向未来的手指，吸引着投资者的目光。

Afnica is becoming the next sudden hugemarket nso. The opportuntles are inAfrica in the 21st century.

China and Afnca are always acomimunity of common future.

Tho address of Prosident Xi Jinpin at theJohannesburg Summt of the Forum on .China-Arica Cooperation in December2015 was powerful: the China- Afnica newstrategic partnership was uplifted to a comprehensive strategic  partnership,strengthening and consoldating the"five  pllars and focusing  onsupportng Africa to salve tho three majordevelopment  bottienecks such asinfrastructure lag ,talent isufficlency andfinancial shortage, s0 as to speodup theindustriaization and  agriculluralmodemizalion.

In fact, as stated in the latest McKinseyresearch ssued in 2017 China wasincomparable in terms of is invalvementin Atnica.

For long, I have deeply regretted thefruitless seeking of spring; it tums out tobe that it has been shifted herein in thefirst place.

Covering an area of 30 milion squarekilometers  and , consisting of 54countries, Africa is provided with richagricu. ltral, oil, mineral, forest, cultivatedland and water resources. With highlymatching development strategies andmutual-beneft cooperation,the marketsof China and Africa are  highlycomplementary Africa has become ablue ocean market for the overseastransformation and upgrading of Chineseenterpnises.
