温家宝中非合作论坛第四届部长级会议讲话

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Friends,

中国人民对非洲人民的感情是真诚的，中国对非洲发展的支持是实实在在的。今后不管世界风云如何变化，我们同非洲人民的友谊不会变，与非洲深化互利合作、实现共同发展的决心不会变，支持非洲经济社会发展的政策不会变。在今后３年，中国政府将采取八项新举措推进中非合作：

The Chinese people cherish sincere friendship towards the African people, and China's support to Africa's development is concrete and real. Whatever change may take place in the world, our friendship with Africa will not change, our commitment to deepening mutually beneficial cooperation and achieving common development with Africa will not change, and our policy of supporting Africa's economic and social development will not change.
