Description
On March 31, 2010, more than 100 scholars from Africa and China gathered in Beijing for the launching of the 'China Africa research and academic exchange program,' a new mechanism announced by the Chinese government at the Fourth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Egypt in November 2009. The program will enable scholars and think tanks from Africa and China to increase exchanges and cooperation, share development experience, and provide intellectual support for improving cooperation policies, according to Lu Shaye, secretary general of the Chinese follow up committee of the FOCAC. The program was still ongoing as of April 6, 2021.
