2026年“中非人文交流年”概念文件
Concept Paper of 2026 China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges
一、背景情况
I. Background
中非友好源远流长，历久弥坚。人民友好是中非关系发展的重要基石，人文交流是中非世代友好的动力源泉。习近平主席指出，“中非关系的根基和血脉在人民，中非关系发展应该更多面向人民”，并在2024年中非合作论坛北京峰会上宣布，中非双方商定将2026年确定为“中非人文交流年”。
China and Africa enjoy a long-standing friendship that has been growing stronger over time. The amicable ties between the two peoples serve as the bedrock for the growth of China-Africa relations, and people-to-people exchanges continuously fuel the vitality of this enduring friendship across generations. President Xi Jinping pointed out, “The foundation and lifeline of China-Africa relations lie with the people. Therefore, the development of our relations should be more people-oriented.” At the 2024 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (hereinafter referred to as FOCAC), President Xi announced that the two sides agreed to designate 2026 as the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges (hereinafter referred to as the Year).
为落实中非领导人重要共识和中非合作论坛北京峰会成果，双方将于2026年中非开启外交关系70周年之际，围绕“夯实全天候友谊 共逐现代化梦想”主题举办系列人文交流活动，推动中非两大文明交流互鉴，促进中非人民心相通、情相融、力相聚，厚植中非友好民意基础；以人文交流为契机，践行真实亲诚对非政策理念，挖掘中非各领域务实合作潜能，为中非携手推进现代化注入活力，为共筑新时代全天候中非命运共同体、共逐现代化之梦贡献力量。
To implement the important consensus reached by Chinese and African leaders and the outcomes of the FOCAC Beijing Summit, the two sides will host a series of people-to-people exchange activities under the theme of Consolidate All-Weather Friendship, Pursue Shared Dream of Modernization, as we celebrate in 2026 the 70th anniversary of the start of diplomatic relations between China and African countries. These activities aim to promote exchanges and mutual learning among the Chinese and African civilizations and strengthen people-to-people bonds, amity and cooperation, thus solidifying the public support for China-Africa friendship. In this process, China will act upon the principles of sincerity, real results, amity, and good faith guiding its Africa policy, and tap the potential for further cooperation in various fields, so as to reinvigorate the joint endeavors of China and Africa to advance modernization, and make contributions to building the all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era and pursuing the shared dream of modernization.
