FOCAC, which celebrates its 24th anniversary this year, constitutes a partnership of choice between China and the African continent, based on the cardinal principles of solidarity, cooperation and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States.
Established in October 2000 in Beijing, FOCAC is China’s oldest regional forum. The mechanism gained prominence in 2006 when Beijing announced the creation of a $5 billion China-Africa development fund.
