津巴布韋駐華大使馬丁·切東多

　　Relations between China and Africa are founded on a shared similar and common history of self-determination, win-win co-operation promoted through trade.

　　譯文：中國和非洲一直在通過貿易促進雙贏合作，且在自決權方面有一段相似的過去，這兩點便是中非的關係基礎。

　　With a common dream of independence, freedom, happiness and prosperity, the two sides waged a liberation struggles for self-emancipation. China reached the destination first in 1949, under the stewardship of the Communist Party of China. In that struggle, Shaanxi and Yan’an played pivotal roles as the base and launch pad for the war of liberation. The spirit of Yan’an lives today on an enduring demonstration of the sacrifice, courage and will power to succeed by the Chinese people.

　　譯文：中非都懷著獨立、自由、幸福和繁榮的共同夢想，開展了自我解放的不懈鬥爭。1949年，在中國共産黨的領導下，中國率先實現了這一目標。在這場鬥爭中，陜西和延安作為解放戰爭的根據地和發射臺，起到了關鍵作用。延安精神綿延至今，持續展示了中國人民為獲取勝利所做出的犧牲及其勇氣和意志力。

　　The spirit served as an inspiration to many oppressed peoples of the world hence the awakening of Africa to its liberation borrowed many chapters from the Chinese experience. Today with the whole of Africa now liberated, we continue to emulate the rich experience of the upliftment of millions of people from poverty to moderate prosperity and in the same enduring spirit, Shaanxi has taken a leading role in Rural vitalization and transformation.

　　譯文：這種精神鼓舞了全世界許多被壓迫的人民，非洲的解放覺醒也借鑒了不少中國經驗。在非洲整體獲得解放的今天，我們繼續借鑒中國讓億萬民眾脫貧致富的豐富經驗，陜西秉承了這种經久不衰的精神，在鄉村振興和轉型中走在前列。

　　In its turn, Africa has a young and vibrant population projected by the United Nations to be 2.5 billion by 2050. It is the fastest growing and the continent of the future. It is rich in natural resources and has abundant man power. It is home to all the strategic minerals in the world and has the largest uncultivated agricultural land with the potential to feed the whole world, hence the move by China to strategic relationships is visionary and will save the interest of both sides.

　　譯文：非洲方面則擁有年輕、充滿活力的人口。據聯合國預測，到2050年非洲人口將達到25億。這是增長最快的大陸，也是未來希冀的大陸，自然資源豐沛、人口資源雄厚。非洲擁有世界上所有的戰略性礦産和最大的未開墾農業用地，有哺育全世界的潛力，因此中國推動建立戰略關係的舉措富有遠見，有利於雙方的利益。
