2019年CRI 一带一路倡议有助于非洲融合

Phyllis Johnson, founding director of the Southern African Research and Documentation Center (SARDC), says the Belt and Road Initiative contributes to Africa's drive for integration¹.

"Well, I think working together with China, in a broader term, it helps to support the unification of Africa. Because it helps to support the initiatives that continent is doing. Africa is hoping to become an emerging economy, to work together on economic issues, political issues and global issues. So there are initiatives such as the Free Trade Area. So I think it supports and strengthens the initiatives that are being taken on the continent."

The senior researcher says President Xi Jinping, in his keynote to the opening of the Belt and Road Forum², proposed concrete actions to be taken for common development under the BRI mechanism³.

She says she believes African countries will benefit a lot from those actions.

"President Xi's speech at the Second Belt and Road Forum was very relevant to the rest of the world and particularly to Africa. He spoke⁴ of innovation. He spoke about green investment. He spoke of transparency, and combating corruption⁵. Those are the issues we are dealing⁶ with here in Africa. He spoke of free trade. It will work only with good and appropriate infrastructure⁷ and China has already begun helping⁸ African countries with infrastructure."

Phyllis Johnson also suggests African countries also need to actively⁹ participating in the BRI to better tap its potential.

"I can tell you a story of addressing students at the early days of the Belt and Road Initiative. And talking about and showing maps about how the maritime¹⁰ Silk Road coming from this part of China comes here. And it shows where the trade was at the African coast. And one the questions from the students were, 'Why they haven't done anything in Africa?' And I said, 'Because it's up to you to do something in Africa.' You know, this is an initiative of reaching out. And in order to develop this part of the Silk Road that meets the Silk Road, it's up to us. It's up to Africa to do that."

Phyllis Johnson says the BRI is still new and is developing.

As such, she says her research institutions such as the SARDC have a responsibility to hold more seminars and discussions about the BRI to help people better understand it and embrace it.

南部非洲研究与文献中心（简称SARDC）创始人菲莉斯·约翰逊女士表示，“一带一路”倡议有助于推动非洲一体化进程。

“非洲国家与中国一道共同参与‘一带一路’建设，从大的方面来讲，有助于推进非洲一体化。共建‘一带一路’倡议，与非洲国家目前正在实施的发展战略相一致，非洲希望在经济、政治等方面以及全球性问题等方面发出一个共同的声音，比如自由贸易区。共建‘一带一路’倡议，有助于非洲国家互联互通，实现一体化。”

这位高级研究员表示，习近平主席在“一带一路”论坛开幕式上发表的主旨演讲中，阐明了在“一带一路”框架之下实现共同发展的具体措施。

她相信非洲国家能从这些措施中有所获益。

“习近平主席在第二届‘一带一路’国际合作高峰论坛开幕式上的演讲与整个世界特别是非洲国家息息相关。习主席谈到了创新发展、推动绿色投资、廉洁发展和推进自由贸易等，这些方面，非洲国家都感同身受。非洲正在打造自由贸易区，与中国合作将有助于推进自贸区建设。他还谈到了自由贸易。这只有借助良好的基础设施才能实现，而中国正在帮助非洲国家进行基础设施建设。”

菲莉斯·约翰逊还指出，非洲国家需要积极参与“一带一路”建设，更好地发掘自身潜力。

“我可以分享一个在“一带一路”倡议提出初期一个学生的提问。当时我在地图上给学生们指海上丝绸之路是如何延伸到非洲的。其中一个学生问，为什么还没见中国在非洲建设‘一带一路’呢？我回答说， 因为非常的发展由你们决定。‘一带一路’倡议提出后，需要你们主动参与。这部分丝绸之路的发展由我们决定，由欧洲决定。”

菲莉斯·约翰逊表示，“一带一路”倡议仍然处于初级阶段，目前还在发展中。

因此，她认为像SARDC这样的研究机构有义务举办更多研讨会，让更多的人理解和接受这一倡议。
