本周二中非公共外交论坛在坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆召开，来自中国和非洲的100多名代表出席了此次论坛，包括官员、商人、专家和媒体专业人员。
 

 

The Chinese people will never forget the help from the African people, and the two peoples are connected by heart and soul, said Li Zhaoxing, chairman of China Public Diplomacy Association in his speech at the opening ceremony.

 

The forum focused on exploring opportunities for future development and shared diplomatic perceptions so as to understand the divergence⁴ of opinions which could lead to misunderstandings.

 

"The media in China and Africa should work closely in sharing dreams of development between China and African countries," said Nape Nnauye, the Minister for Information, Culture, Arts and Sports at the forum.

 

Nnauye said it was important for the media to play a role in bridging the gap between the peoples of China and Africa.

 

"Chinese people are not only our friends but they are also our brothers and sisters," said the minister.
