NAIROBI, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- Jointly set up by China and Africa in October 2000, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) has made abundant achievements in the last decade, boosting the development of the new type of China-Africa strategic partnership in an all-round and tangible way.The FOCAC, a collective consultation and dialogue mechanism between China and African countries, is the first of its kind in the history of China-Africa relations. It is a major future- oriented move taken by both sides in the context of South-South cooperation to seek common development in the new situation.Besides four ministerial meetings, the forum held a summit in November 2006 in Beijing, when Chinese President Hu Jintao and his African counterparts agreed unanimously to building "a new type of strategic partnership featuring political equality and mutual trust, economic win-win cooperation and cultural exchanges". It is an important milestone and beacon for the China-Africa relation development in the new times. The Chinese government has fully implemented the eight initiatives of assistance developed at a series of ministerial conferences and particularly at the Beijing Summit. Moreover, a new set of eight initiatives has been launched since the 4th Ministerial Conference of FOCAC last year.With a prosperous FOCAC, China-Africa relations registered considerable progress in all sectors. Over the past 10 years, mutual political trust had continued to deepen between China and Africa, practical cooperation had progressed on multiple fronts and exchanges and mutual learning had intensified, noted Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, addressing a seminar marking the 10th anniversary of FOCAC last month in Pretoria, South Africa.HIGH LEVEL OF MUTUAL TRUSTChina is the largest developing country while Africa is the continent with largest number of developing countries. The population of the FOCAC's member states accounts for around one third of the world's total. The forum, initially launched to further strengthen the friendly relations between the two sides, and jointly meet the challenges of the new era, have attracted the attention of the whole world since 2000.The forum witnessed the most frequent high-level contacts and personnel exchanges between China and Africa. During the decade, Chinese President Hu Jintao paid six visits to Africa. The two sides supported each other on major international issues and bilateral issues, and coordinated more closely in international affairs. With its contribution, China-Africa relations have entered a new stage of fast, comprehensive and stable development.The first FOCAC ministerial conference, held in Beijing in October 2000, was aimed at addressing globalization and enhancing cooperation between China and African countries.To strengthen the FOCAC mechanism and better implement its follow-up actions, the Chinese side established its FOCAC Follow- Up Committee in December 2001, which is composed of senior officials from 21 ministries, state commissions and agencies. In December 2003, the second ministerial conference was convened in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia. The third ministerial meeting and a summit was held in November, 2006 in Beijing. And the fourth ministerial meeting was held in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el- Sheikh on Nov. 8-9, 2009.During its development, the forum has formed into a multi-level dialogue mechanism between ministers, senior officials etc., and a consultation platform for its members' leaders, foreign ministers and African ambassadors to China. The two sides held collective dialogue, planned for the future development of China-Africa relations within the forum. Contacts between their parliaments, political parties and local authorities have also deepened.The forum has creatively determined the consensus reached by two sides on the form of official documents, such as the Beijing Declaration and the Program for China-Africa Cooperation in Economic and Social Development, adopted in 2000, and the Sharm el- Sheikh Declaration and Sharm el-Sheikh Action Plan, adopted in 2009. In such way, the forum not only consolidated the results of Sino-African exchanges over the past more than half a century, but also laid a more solid foundation for mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Africa.Through the years, China has always uphold the concept of non- interference in other countries' internal affairs, and do not seek to export its values and development models to African countries, but to help them address food security, health care, education and other issues with numerous reconstruction projects, donations, personnel training programs, preferential loans and debt relief.At the same time, the initiatives of each ministerial meetings are innovative and with continuity. The proposed objectives of these meetings can be completed on schedule or even ahead of time. This demonstrates China, as the largest developing country and a responsible country, is greatly concerned on Africa's development and the growing China-Africa strategic mutual trust.On the twentieth session of the World Economic Forum on Africa, held in Tanzania, 2010, the African representatives generally agreed that the strategic interests of China and Africa had become increasingly inseparable. The bilateral relations between China and Africa are evolving to a real win-win partnership.

BEIJING, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government will devote more efforts to controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS and in researching AIDS vaccines and medicines, Vice Premier Li Keqiang said Monday."Although China has made great progress in HIV/AIDS control, the country still faces a tough situation," said Li, while visiting the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) in Beijing prior to World AIDS Day which falls on Dec. 1.The government at all levels should realize the urgency and importance of the work and adopt more effective measures to control the spread of AIDS, he added."We should also realize that it will be a long campaign to control AIDS," Li said.Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang (R), also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, shakes hands with the working staff during his visit to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) in Beijing, capital of China, on Nov. 22, 2010. Li visited the center on Monday, prior to World AIDS Day which falls on Dec. 1.The government plans to provide more support for the research and development of AIDS vaccines and medicine, he said."We are glad to learn that progress has been made in the research of AIDS vaccines and hope there will be a breakthrough in clinical trials of vaccines, early diagnosis of HIV, and AIDS medicine," he said.Li said the government will continue its policies to provide free medical treatment for HIV-positive patients who are not covered by state medical insurance, free HIV tests and counseling for patients, as well as free delivery and mother-to-child transmission prevention programs for HIV-positive mothers.The authorities should also improve assistance for AIDS patients and children with HIV-positive parents, he said.China is estimated to have about 740,000 HIV-positive citizens and about 100,000 AIDS patients among its 1.3 billion people.

BEIJING, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's central bank moved a step further to tighten liquidity amid increasing inflation pressures as it ordered Chinese banks to set aside more reserves on Wednesday.The People' s Bank of China, or the central bank, announced it would raise the deposit reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for Chinese financial institutions that accept deposits by 50 basis points from Nov. 16, which was estimated to freeze more than 300 billion yuan (45.1 billion U.S. dollars).The order came on the eve of Thursday's release of China' s October consumer price index (CPI), which is projected, by some economists, to reach 4 percent.The RRR for the four big state-owned banks - the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China - will stand at 18 percent once the rise takes effect.Further, Wednesday's move will raise the deposit reserve ratio for other large financial institutions to 17.5 percent and that for small-and medium-sized financial institutions to 15.5 percent.The adjustment is the fourth RRR increase the central bank has ordered for Chinese banks this year, and the first time it has done so since it hiked interest rates by 0.25 percentage points last month.Chinese experts believe combined concerns, ranging from the looming hot money inflows caused by the United State quantitative easing to the growing inflation risks and soaring assets bubbles, have caused the central bank to raise the RRR to rein in liquidity."The central bank announced interest rates hikes and the RRR rise within one month, as the U.S. 600 billion-US-dollar quantitative easing is likely to send more speculative capital flowing to the emerging markets, and domestic commodities prices continue to increase, " senior economist with the Asian Development Bank, Zhuang Jian said, adding that the RRR increase will trim the banks' credit capital, which will help curb market speculation inflows and stabilize commodities prices.China's central bank, on Oct. 20, announced a rise of its benchmark one-year lending and deposit rate by 0.25 percentage points, the first interest rates hike in three years, as the nation's CPI hit a 23-month high to 3.6 percent in September.October's CPI is due to be announced on Thursday, while economists anticipate the October year-on-year inflation is likely to rise to 4.1 percent.Further, prices of China' s edible farm produce have witnessed consecutive increases since mid-October, as prices of 18 types of vegetables in 36 large and medium-sized cities rose by 4.9 percent during the week that ended Nov. 7, according to data released Wednesday by the Ministry of Commerce.Zhang Ping, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said Tuesday that the nation's CPI is expected to exceed the government' s annual target of 3 percent.Also, the nation's real estate prices continued the upward trend in October, though at a slower pace, with property prices in 70 major Chinese cities increasing by 8.6 percent year on year in October, down from the 9.1-percent increase in September, the National Bureau of Statistics showed Wednesday.Li Huaiding, analyst with the Guoxin Securities Co., said Wednesday's rise would contribute to scaling back liquidity, but pressures still exist in the upcoming months, and the central bank may again increase interest rates before the end of the year.Additionally, the central bank said in a report issued on Nov.2 that it would gradually normalize the monetary policy from its counter-crisis mode and tighten control over liquidity to maintain moderate credit growth in the coming months this year.
