The Principle of Sincerity, Real Results, Affinity, and Good Faith
In his speech in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in March 2013, Xi Jinping elaborated on Sino-African relations and China’s African policy.
China has a sincere desire to build strong ties with its African friends. Solidarity and cooperation with African countries has always been an important element of China’s foreign policy.
Cooperation with Africa has been and will continue to be results-oriented. China will honor every commitment it makes to Africa. The traditional and intimate friendship between the Chinese and African peoples will continue to strengthen. Efforts will be made to expand people-to-people exchanges, especially youth exchange programs, so that our friendship can be passed on to younger generations.
We will always act in good faith in addressing problems that might occur in our relations with Africa. New developments and issues relating to our bilateral relations will be discussed frankly and dealt with on the basis of mutual respect and through mutually beneficial cooperation. This principle has become an important practice in the cooperation between China and other developing countries.
真、實、親、誠理念
2013年3月，習近平在達累斯薩拉姆發表演講時，全面闡述了中非關系以及中國對非政策主張：第一，對待非洲朋友，講一個“真”字，始終把發展同非洲國家的團結合作作為中國對外政策的重要基礎。第二，開展對非合作，講一個“實”字，只要是中方作出的承諾，就一定會不折不扣落到實處。第三，加強中非友好，講一個“親”字，中非人民有著天然的親近感，理應更加重視中非人文交流，積極推動青年交流，使中非友好事業后繼有人。第四，解決合作中的問題，講一個“誠”字，中方坦誠面對中非關系面臨的新情況新問題，本著相互尊重、合作共贏的精神加以妥善解決。真實親誠理念已經成為中國與非洲國家等所有發展中國家加強團結合作時堅持的重要理念。
