On September 7, Ambassador Hu Changchun, the head of the African Union Mission, published an article entitled "Tiangong Dialogue" to help China -Africa cooperation and upgrade upgrade in the column of "Decisione" in China International Television (CGTN). The full text is as follows:

In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Africa, the Chinese Employment Embassy in Africa, the Chinese Manned Aerospace Engineering Office and the AND Commission jointly held the "Tiangong Dialogue -Q & A Q & A Q & A and African Youth Q & A" Activity. This is the first time that the major aerospace country is the first time to contact African adolescents through the "Heaven and Earth Connection", which will further inspire the majority of African teenagers to look up at the starry sky and participate in technology. The success of the activity not only shows the close unity and cooperation between China and Africa, but also shows that under the new situation, China and Africa work together to climb the peak of science and technology.

In recent years, under the leadership of the China -Africa Cooperation Forum and the "Belt and Road" initiative, aerospace cooperation has become an important highlight of China -Africa cooperation. The two sides have achieved fruitful results such as the import and export of the satellite, the construction of aerospace infrastructure, sharing satellite resources, and joint satellite research and development. China Aerospace Science and Technology has played an increasing role in promoting the economic and social development of African countries and benefiting the production and life of African people:

The first is to help African countries improve the level of aerospace hardware. Of the 45 African satellites launched from 1998 to 2021, 6 were launched in China and were made by China. Chinese companies have also helped Nigeria, Algeria, Ethiopia, and Sudan build 5 satellites. In January 2019, China and Egypt signed an agreement on the Egyptian No. 2 satellite implementation. The construction content includes a small remote sensing satellite, a ground surveying and control station, and a set of ground application systems. After the project is completed, Egypt will become the first African country with complete satellite assembly integration testing capabilities.

The second is to provide high -quality training to help Africa cultivate local aerospace talents. Since 2014, China has successively used the Chinese government scholarships in remote sensing and geographic information systems, satellite communication and satellite navigation, and small satellite technology. African graduate students in 8 countries. In addition, China has also carried out scientific and technological innovation cooperation and exchange activities with colleges and universities such as Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria, Tunisia, Cameroon, Morocco and other national universities and scientific research institutions.

The third is to use aerospace technology to support Africa's effective response to the new crown epidemic. Faced with the impact of epidemics to the medical and education field, China provides satellite digital technical support, and has played an important role in the popularization of African countries' epidemic prevention knowledge and the guarantee of teaching activities. In May 2020, the China Space Technology Research Institute team cooperated with the Algerian Astronautics Agency to start the long -range education system with the help of Algeria's No. 1 communication satellite resource to open the "National Education Channel" to effectively solve the problem of students' class difficulties. In addition, Chinese companies use satellite digital technology to spread real and effective epidemic prevention information to the public, and inject positive energy into China -Africa unity and resistance.

With the joint efforts of both parties, the aerospace cooperation between the China -Africa League has made rapid progress and has great potential. In November last year, the China -Africa Alliance jointly organized the first China -Africa Beidou Cooperation Forum to set up an important communication platform for China and Africa in the field of satellite navigation. Actual application cases and future cooperation ideas. According to the Darkar Action Plan for the China -Africa Cooperation Forum in November last year, the African Union will jointly study the "China -Africa Aerospace Cooperation White Paper" with the National Space Administration of China to determine the key areas and key directions of cooperation. The China -Africa aerospace cooperation will be widely benefited from the people of China and Africa.

In October of this year, the Communist Party of China will hold the 20th National Congress to lead the Chinese people to step forward in comprehensively building a new journey of socialist modernization. The African Union will also launch the second ten -year implementation plan of the "AD 2063", and Africa will usher in new development opportunities. Standing at a new historical starting point, we should unite closer to, adhere to sincerity, friendship, mutual respect, equality, strengthen support of each other's core interests, and strengthen friendly exchanges at levels in various fields. Give full play to the leading demonstration role of the China -Africa cooperation, accelerate the "Belt and Road" initiative, global development initiative, "Nine Projects" and African Union's "2063 agenda" and African Development A agenda. Non -cooperative golden signs have continuously strengthened innovation cooperation in the areas of health and disease control, cross -regional infrastructure construction, green development, digital economy, food security, trade and investment, etc., and promote the continuous quality and upgrading of China -Africa cooperation. China is willing to work with Africa to build a higher level, more comprehensive, and higher quality of the destiny of the China -Africa League! (Source: Anti -All -League Environment)
