Forum on China-Africa Cooperation has proved to be a new benchmark
Since its founding, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation has proved to be an effective platform for deepened and upgraded interaction.
In May 2000, the British magazine The Economist released an issue with a cover labeling Africa the hopeless continent , which suggested that the world might give up on the continent. However, that only represented the Western perspective. China believed Africa was a promising continent and it was ready to build a new platform with Africa for shared development. Five months later, in October 2000, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was founded in Beijing, inaugurating a new era of China-Africa relations and African development.
