The bridge was completed with the placement of a 20.6-meter precast T-beam, weighing 38 metric tons, on the pier. This is one of 20 new bridges being constructed along the stretch, which will also feature 40 tunnels, 121 new culverts, and four stations, according to a statement released by the company on Friday. Expected to be completed by October 2025, the project will facilitate the exchange of passengers and goods between Zambia and the port of Beira, Mozambique, creating a vital sea passage for southern African countries. Dubbed the "road of happiness that connects the world" by local residents, the railway will support the import and export of cross-border minerals, agricultural products and other resources. Ru Hong, director of the Engineering Management Department for the Marka-Bangula Railway Project at China Railway 20th Bureau Group, said that the completion of the railway will "achieve Malawi and Mozambique railway interoperability" and enable the passage of Malawi's agricultural products, minerals and other resources to global markets. The railway will also help Zambia and other landlocked countries transport their resources through Malawi to the seaport, Ru added. The Marka-Bangula Railway was destroyed by floods in 1997, rendering it completely out of service. CR20 officially began reconstruction in January 2023. 中国公司在马拉维马卡-邦古拉铁路上建造最长桥梁 来源：新华社 2024年7月8日 中国铁建二十局集团（CR20）负责修复从与莫桑比克接壤的南部边境车站马卡到恩桑杰区邦古拉的72公里铁路，并于周五在该铁路上建造了最长的桥梁。 据该公司周五发布的声明称，该桥梁的建成是通过在桥墩上放置一根长20.6米、重38公吨的预制T型梁实现的。这是该路段正在建造的20座新桥之一，该路段还将设有40条隧道、121条新涵洞和四个车站。 该项目预计将于2025年10月完工，将促进赞比亚与莫桑比克贝拉港之间的客货交流，为南部非洲国家打造一条重要的海上通道。这条铁路被当地居民称为“连接世界的幸福之路”，将支持跨境矿产、农产品等资源的进出口。 中国铁建二十局集团马卡-邦古拉铁路项目工程管理部主任鲁红表示，铁路的建成将“实现马拉维和莫桑比克铁路的互操作性”，并使马拉维的农产品、矿产等资源进入全球市场。 鲁红补充说，该铁路还将帮助赞比亚和其他内陆国家通过马拉维将资源运往海港。 马卡-邦古拉铁路于1997年遭受洪水破坏，导致该铁路完全停用。中国铁建二十局集团于2023年1月正式开始重建工作。 Feature: Chinese solar technology helps light up Kenyan refugee camp Source:xinhua　2024-07-02 In the sprawling Kakuma refugee camp that is located in northwestern Kenya, one section stands out because it is well-lit amid the tranquility of the looming dusk. The residents of Kakuma Three refugee camp are beneficiaries of green energy that is readily available thanks to a mini-grid that has been made possible thanks to China's solar technology. Vasco Hamisi, who fled the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 2010 and ended up in the Kakuma refugee camp, is playing a pivotal role in ensuring that the refugee camp has access to renewable energy despite not being connected to the country's main electricity grid. Hamisi, a father of two children, was inspired by the region's all year round abundant sunshine to explore the use of solar panels. Initially, he did not have the funding to actualize his dream of lighting up his refugee camp, which is home to about 288,000 refugees from nine countries including South Sudan, Ethiopia, Burundi and DRC. His breakthrough came in 2018 when he participated in a grant challenge competition and emerged as one of the winners who qualified to be awarded funding for their green projects. Hamisi received funding of about 275,000 U.S. dollars to finance development of a solar power plant, Okapi Green Energy, in the refugee camp. "I began looking for a viable solution to supply electricity and discovered that China has developed affordable and reliable technology to convert sunshine into electricity," Hamisi told Xinhua during a recent interview in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. After receiving all the necessary approvals from government agencies such as the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority, National Environmental Management Authority as well as the county government of Turkana, he hit the ground running. Through his Okapi Green Energy, Hamisi purchased solar panels and other related accessories from Chinese firm Jinko Solar to establish a 20-kilowatt power plant and began connecting the refugee camp with electricity in 2021. "So far I have 150 households and 50 businesses as customers of my mini electricity grid at the Kakuma refugee camp," Hamisi said. Due to the overwhelming success of the project, he is currently in talks with the Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd in east China's Fujian Province, which is a stationary battery manufacturer, to expand his electricity generating facility to achieve 2.4 megawatts in the next few months. One of the beneficiaries of the green energy project is Desantos Theophile Byizigiro who runs a successful entertainment joint at the Kakuma refugee camp. The Rwandese refugee escaped his homeland in 1997 and came to Kenya in search of greener pastures. Byizigiro said that before he connected to the solar plant, he depended on a generator which was very costly and inconvenient to his patrons. "The generator produced a lot of smoke and noise which interfered with the comfort of my clients," Byizigiro said. He revealed that since he was connected to the solar electricity grid, his profit margins have expanded even as the cost of electricity reduced from 2,000 shillings (15.5 U.S. dollars) daily to 3.9 dollars. 特稿：中国太阳能技术助力点亮肯尼亚难民营 来源：新华社 2024年7月2日 在肯尼亚西北部的广袤的卡库马难民营中，有一片区域格外引人注目，因为它在暮色降临时依然灯火通明，显得格外宁静。 卡库马三号难民营的居民们得益于中国太阳能技术提供的微型电网，享受到了绿色能源带来的便利。 瓦斯科·哈米西于2010年逃离刚果民主共和国（DRC），最终抵达卡库马难民营。尽管难民营并未接入国家主电网，但他却在确保难民营获得可再生能源方面发挥了关键作用。 这位两个孩子的父亲受到该地区全年充足阳光的启发，开始探索使用太阳能电池板。起初，他并没有资金来实现为难民营供电的梦想，该难民营是包括南苏丹、埃塞俄比亚、布隆迪和刚果民主共和国在内的九个国家的约288,000名难民的家园。 2018年，他迎来了转机，参加了资助挑战赛并脱颖而出，成为获得资助绿色项目的获胜者之一。 哈米西获得了约275,000美元的资助，用于在难民营内建设一座太阳能发电厂——奥卡皮绿色能源发电厂。 “我开始寻找可行的供电方案，并发现中国已经开发出了一种经济可靠的技术，可以将阳光转化为电能，”哈米西在卡库马难民营接受新华社记者采访时说。 在获得肯尼亚能源与石油管理局、国家环境管理局以及图尔卡纳县政府等政府机构的必要批准后，他立即着手实施。 通过奥卡皮绿色能源公司，哈米西从中国公司晶科能源购买了太阳能电池板和其他相关配件，建立了一座20千瓦的发电厂，并于2021年开始为难民营接通电力。 “到目前为止，我已经在卡库马难民营的微型电网中拥有了150户家庭和50家商业客户，”哈米西说。 由于项目取得了巨大成功，他目前正在与中国东部福建省的厦门海辰储能科技股份有限公司（一家固定电池制造商）进行谈判，以扩大其发电设施，在未来几个月内实现2.4兆瓦的发电量。 绿色能源项目的受益者之一是德斯托斯·特奥菲尔·比伊齐吉罗，他在卡库马难民营经营着一家成功的娱乐场所。 这位卢旺达难民于1997年逃离祖国，来到肯尼亚寻找更美好的生活。 比伊齐吉罗说，在接入太阳能发电厂之前，他依赖发电机供电，但发电机成本高昂且给顾客带来不便。 “发电机产生大量烟雾和噪音，干扰了顾客的舒适度，”比伊齐吉罗说。 他透露说，自从接入太阳能电网以来，他的利润空间扩大了，而电费也从每天2000先令（15.5美元）降到了3.9美元。 Roundup: China-Egypt cultural exchange event held to promote heritage protection Source:xinhua　2024-07-08 The shared heritage of the Chinese and Egyptian civilizations fostered through trade via the ancient Silk Road was highlighted in an international cultural exchange event held here in Egypt's capital late on Wednesday. Under the theme of "Shared Heritage, Shared Future," the event gathered cultural officials, scholars, and diplomats from China and Egypt, as well as UNESCO representatives. During the event, scholars delivered keynote speeches to promote bilateral cooperation in preserving cultural heritage and to exchange experiences in the conservation of heritage sites. Hu Kaihong, deputy chief of China's Central Office of Cultural and Ethical Progress, said the event is of great significance to promoting the vision of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness among civilizations, implementing the Global Civilization Initiative, and strengthening exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. Chinese Ambassador to Egypt Liao Liqiang said in his address to the event that "as two ancient civilizations, China and Egypt have a common heritage that we both are proud of." China is willing to work with Egypt to implement the strategic consensus reached by the two heads of state on building a community with a shared future and promoting common development and prosperity for the two nations, Liao noted. In his presentation, Jiang Bo, director of the Center of Maritime Archaeology at China's Shandong University, introduced the Chinese experience in protecting newly enlisted UNESCO World Heritage Sites in China, including east China's Quanzhou, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, and the Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er. He meanwhile elaborated on how China's practices contribute to the global cause of world heritage protection. Heidi Bayoumy, an associate professor of the Department of English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Arts, Cairo University, said it is glad to see a growing number of translated Chinese works in Egypt and more Chinese language departments established in Egyptian universities. She told Xinhua at the event that mutual translation of Chinese and Arabic literary works is a key "gateway" to mutual understanding of each other's cultures. During the event, Mehrdad Shabahang, UNESCO's specialist for the Silk Roads Programme, brought audiences back to the historical and geographical imprints of exchanges in the fields of architecture, cultural legacies, and urbanization between countries and regions along the ancient Silk Road. He also highlighted the need to collaborate to preserve the World Heritage sites amid challenges including climate change, stressing, "We need to share experience and knowledge for facing and responding to these challenges." An exhibition was held at the event with a focus on the birth and growth of heritage cities along the ancient trade route connecting China and Egypt, as well as China's achievements in global cooperation on preserving cultural heritage. Under the support of the UNESCO office in Cairo, the event was jointly hosted by the municipality of Nanjing, the capital city of east China's Jiangsu Province, as well as China's Southeast University and Tongji University.  综述：中埃文化交流活动举行 以促进遗产保护 来源：新华社 2024年7月8日 周三晚些时候，在埃及首都举行的一场国际文化交流活动上，通过古代丝绸之路贸易而促进的中埃文明共同遗产受到了重视。 此次活动以“共同遗产，共同未来”为主题，汇聚了来自中国和埃及的文化官员、学者和外交官，以及联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）的代表。 在活动中，学者们发表了主旨演讲，以促进双方在保护文化遗产方面的合作，并交流遗产地保护方面的经验。 中国国家文化和伦理进步中央办公室副主任胡开宏表示，此次活动对于促进文明间平等、互学互鉴、对话交流、包容互鉴的愿景、实施全球文明倡议、加强文明交流互鉴具有重要意义。 中国驻埃及大使廖力强在致辞中表示，“作为两个古老的文明，中埃两国有着我们共同引以为豪的遗产。” 廖力强指出，中国愿与埃及携手合作，落实两国元首就构建人类命运共同体、促进两国共同发展繁荣达成的战略共识。 在演讲中，中国山东大学海洋考古中心主任姜波介绍了中国在保护新列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录的中国遗址方面的经验，包括中国东部的泉州、良渚古城遗址和普洱景迈山古茶园文化景观。 同时，他还详细阐述了中国的做法如何为全球世界遗产保护事业做出贡献。 开罗大学艺术学院英语语言与文学系副教授海蒂·贝尤米表示，很高兴看到越来越多的中国作品被翻译成阿拉伯语，埃及大学也设立了更多的中文系。 她在活动现场向新华社记者表示，中阿文学作品的互译是增进双方文化相互理解的“关键之门”。 活动期间，联合国教科文组织丝绸之路项目专家梅赫达德·沙巴杭带领观众回顾了古代丝绸之路沿线国家和地区在建筑、文化遗产和城市化等领域的交流与融合的历史和地理印记。 他还强调了在应对包括气候变化在内的各种挑战时合作保护世界遗产的必要性，并强调：“我们需要分享经验和知识，以面对和应对这些挑战。” 活动现场还举办了一场展览，重点展示了中国和埃及之间古老贸易路线沿线遗产城市的诞生和发展，以及中国在全球合作保护文化遗产方面取得的成就。 此次活动在联合国教科文组织驻开罗办事处的支持下，由江苏省会南京市政府、中国东南大学以及同济大学联合主办。 Chinese firm starts production of pig iron in Zimbabwe Source:xinhua　2024-06-24 The Dinson Iron and Steel Company (DISCO), a subsidiary of the private company Tsingshan Holding Group in east China's Zhejiang Province, has started production of pig iron in Manhize, a town in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe, marking a milestone in the revival of the country's iron and steel industry. "This really is a very joyous occasion to see the first stage of production of iron from Manhize," said Mines and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando in an interview with Xinhua after touring DISCO's plant Thursday. Pig iron, also known as crude iron, is the direct product of the blast furnace and yields steel, wrought iron, or high-purity iron when refined. The production of pig iron, which commenced last week, sets the stage for steel billet production, which is expected to begin next month. Chitando said DISCO is expected to produce 600,000 metric tons of carbon steel in the first phase of the project, rising to 1.2 million, then 3.2 million, and ultimately 5 million metric tons per year in the final phase. He said the development is a testament to China-Zimbabwe cooperation. "Zimbabwe and China have got long-standing political relationships, and here we now have economic relationships cementing that political relationship." Wilfred Motsi, project director for the Dinson Group, said the development marks a huge milestone in Zimbabwe's manufacturing industry. "We are going back to our glory days when Zimbabwe was known as one of the industrial hubs in southern Africa because of the opening of the steel industry," Motsi said. "We are no longer talking about the steel industry being dead in Zimbabwe. Yes, some players were there, but (they) were producing at a small scale, but our coming in means that we have revived the iron and steel industry in Zimbabwe."  中国企业在津巴布韦开始生产生铁 来源：新华社 2024年6月24日 位于中国东部浙江省的民营企业青山控股集团的子公司——鼎森钢铁公司（DISCO）已在津巴布韦中部省马尼齐镇开始生产生铁，标志着该国钢铁工业的复兴迈出了重要一步。 津巴布韦矿业与矿业发展部长温斯顿·奇坦多周四参观DISCO工厂后接受新华社采访时表示：“看到马尼齐镇第一阶段生铁生产启动，真是令人欢欣鼓舞的时刻。” 生铁，又称粗铁，是高炉的直接产品，经过精炼可制成钢材、熟铁或高纯度铁。 上周开始的生铁生产为接下来即将于下个月启动的钢坯生产奠定了基础。 奇坦多表示，DISCO预计将在项目第一阶段生产60万吨碳钢，随后产量将提升至120万吨、320万吨，并在最终阶段达到每年500万吨。 他表示，这一发展是中国与津巴布韦合作的见证。“津巴布韦和中国有着长期的政治关系，现在我们之间的经济关系正在巩固这种政治关系。” 鼎森集团项目经理威尔弗雷德·莫西表示，这一发展标志着津巴布韦制造业的巨大里程碑。 莫西说：“我们将重回辉煌时代，当时由于钢铁工业的开放，津巴布韦被誉为非洲南部的工业中心之一。我们现在不再谈论津巴布韦的钢铁工业已经消亡。是的，当时确实有一些参与者，但他们的生产规模很小，而我们的进入意味着我们已经复兴了津巴布韦的钢铁工业。” Full Text: Keynote speech by Chinese President Xi Jinping at opening ceremony of 8th FOCAC ministerial conference Source: xinhua　2021-12-02 (Translation) Uphold the Tradition of Always Standing Together And Jointly Build a China-Africa Community With a Shared Future in the New Era Keynote Speech by H.E. Xi Jinping President of the People’s Republic of China At the Opening Ceremony of the Eighth Ministerial Conference of The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation 29 November 2021    Your Excellency President Macky Sall, Distinguished Colleagues, Dear Guests and Friends,   It is such a pleasure to attend the opening ceremony of the Eighth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). Let me first express sincere appreciation to President Sall and the government of Senegal for their excellent organization, and extend a warm welcome to the colleagues and guests attending the Conference.   This year marks the 65th anniversary of the start of diplomatic relations between China and African countries. Over the past 65 years, China and Africa have forged unbreakable fraternity in our struggle against imperialism and colonialism, and embarked on a distinct path of cooperation in our journey toward development and revitalization. Together, we have written a splendid chapter of mutual assistance amidst complex changes, and set a shining example for building a new type of international relations.   Dear Friends,   Why do China and Africa have such a close relationship and so deep a bond of friendship? The key lies in an everlasting spirit of China-Africa friendship and cooperation forged between the two sides, which features sincere friendship and equality, win-win for mutual benefit and  common development, fairness and justice, and progress with the times and openness and inclusiveness. This truly captures the relations of China and Africa working together in good and hard times over the past decades, and provides a source of strength for the continuous growth of China-Africa friendly relations.   This year marks the 50th anniversary of the restoration of China’s lawful seat in the United Nations. Here, let me express sincere appreciation to the many African friends who supported China back then. Let me also make it solemnly clear that China will never forget the profound friendship of African countries and will remain guided by the principle of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith and the principle of pursuing the greater good and shared interests. China will work together with African friends to promote and carry forward the spirit of China-Africa friendship and cooperation from generation to generation.   Dear Friends,   At the 2018 FOCAC Beijing Summit, I proposed that we build an even stronger China-Africa community with a shared future. The proposal was unanimously endorsed by African leaders. Over the past three years and more, China and Africa have worked together to fully implement the eight major initiatives and other outcomes of the Beijing Summit, and completed a large number of priority cooperation projects. China-Africa trade and China’s investment in Africa have been on a steady rise. Almost all African members of FOCAC have joined the big family of Belt and Road cooperation. All these have injected strong impetus into the China-Africa comprehensive strategic and cooperative partnership.   A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. As we stand at the historic starting point of building a China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era, I wish to make the following four proposals:   First, fighting COVID-19 with solidarity. We need to put people and their lives first, be guided by science, support waiving intellectual property rights on COVID-19 vaccines, and truly ensure the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in Africa to bridge the immunization gap.   Second, deepening practical cooperation. We need to open up new prospects for China-Africa cooperation, expand trade and investment, share experience on poverty reduction, strengthen cooperation on digital economy, and promote entrepreneurship by young Africans and the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). At the UN General Assembly this year, I put forward the Global Development Initiative, which dovetails with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We welcome the active support and participation by African countries.   Third, promoting green development. In the face of climate change, which is a major challenge to all humanity, we need to advocate green and low-carbon development, actively promote solar, wind and other sources of renewable energy, work for effective implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change and keep strengthening our capacity for sustainable development.   Fourth, upholding equity and justice. The world needs true multilateralism. Peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom are common values of humanity and represent the abiding aspirations of both China and Africa. We both advocate a development path suited to our national conditions and are both committed to upholding the rights and interests of developing countries. We both oppose intervention in domestic affairs, racial discrimination and unilateral sanctions. We need to unequivocally stand for the just propositions of developing countries and translate our common aspirations and interests into joint actions.     Dear Friends,   In the run-up to this Conference, our two sides have jointly prepared the China-Africa Cooperation Vision 2035. Under the first three-year plan of the Vision, China will work closely with African countries to implement the following nine programs:   First, the medical and health program. To help the AU achieve its goal of vaccinating 60 percent of the African population by 2022, I announce that China will provide another one billion doses of vaccines to Africa, including 600 million doses as donation and 400 million doses to be provided through such means as joint production by Chinese companies and relevant African countries. In addition, China will undertake 10 medical and health projects for African countries, and send 1,500 medical personnel and public health experts to Africa.   Second, the poverty reduction and agricultural development program. China will undertake 10 poverty reduction and agricultural projects for Africa, and send 500 agricultural experts to Africa. China will set up a number of China-Africa joint centers for modern agrotechnology exchange, demonstration and training in China, encourage Chinese institutions and companies to build in Africa demonstration villages for China-Africa cooperation on agricultural development and poverty reduction, and support the Alliance of Chinese Companies in Africa for Corporate Social Responsibilities in launching the initiative of “100 Companies in 1,000 Villages”.   Third, the trade promotion program. China will open “green lanes” for African agricultural exports to China, speed up the inspection and quarantine procedures, and further increase the scope of products enjoying zero-tariff treatment for the least developed countries (LDCs) having diplomatic relations with China, in a bid to reach 300 billion US dollars in total imports from Africa in the next three years. China will provide 10 billion US dollars of trade finance to support African export, and build in China a pioneering zone for in-depth China-Africa trade and economic cooperation and a China-Africa industrial park for Belt and Road cooperation. China will undertake 10 connectivity projects for Africa, form an expert group on economic cooperation with the secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and give continued support to the development of the AfCFTA.   Fourth, the investment promotion program. China will encourage its businesses to invest no less than 10 billion US dollars in Africa in the next three years, and will establish a platform for China-Africa private investment promotion. China will undertake 10 industrialization and employment promotion projects for Africa, provide credit facilities of 10 billion US dollars to African financial institutions, support the development of African SMEs on a priority basis, and establish a China-Africa cross-border RMB center. China will exempt African LDCs from debt incurred in the form of interest-free Chinese government loans due by the end of 2021. China is ready to channel to African countries 10 billion US dollars from its share of the IMF’s new allocation of Special Drawing Rights.   Fifth, the digital innovation program. China will undertake 10 digital economy projects for Africa, set up centers for China-Africa cooperation on satellite remote-sensing application, and support the development of China-Africa joint laboratories, partner institutes, and scientific and technological innovation cooperation bases. China will work with African countries to expand Silk Road e-commerce cooperation, hold online shopping festivals featuring quality African products and tourism e-commerce promotion activities, and launch a campaign to market 100 African stores and 1,000 African products on e-commerce platforms.   Sixth, the green development program. China will undertake 10 green development, environmental protection and climate action projects for Africa, support the development of the “Great Green Wall”, and build in Africa centers of excellence on low-carbon development and climate change adaptation.   Seventh, the capacity building program. China will help build or upgrade 10 schools in Africa, and invite 10,000 high-level African professionals to seminars and workshops. We will implement “Future of Africa — a project for China-Africa cooperation on vocational education”, and start an employment “through train” scheme for African students in China. China will continue to work with African countries to set up “Luban Workshops”, and encourage Chinese companies in Africa to create at least 800,000 local jobs.   Eighth, the cultural and people-to-people exchange program.
