BEIJING — China-Africa economic and trade cooperation has continued to scale new heights since the 2021 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, delivering tangible benefits to the people of both China and Africa, said Assistant Minister of Commerce Tang Wenhong.

Tang made the remarks at a recent news conference on Aug 20 detailing the progress and achievements that have been made under the nine cooperation programs China announced during the FOCAC's 8th Ministerial Conference held three years ago in Senegal.

These nine programs span categories such as medicine and health, poverty reduction and agricultural development, trade and investment promotion, digital innovation, green development and capacity building, among others.
