中非是好朋友、好伙伴、好兄弟。中非友谊是过去几十年来，双方在争取国家独立和民族解放、致力于发展经济和改善民生的进程中结下的，历经风雨考验，是中非人民共同的宝贵财富。2014年西非三国暴发埃博拉疫情后，中国政府率先驰援，同非洲国家和人民并肩抗疫。新冠肺炎疫情暴发后，中非双方再次团结一致、共克时艰，中非友谊得到新的升华。在中国人民抗击疫情的关键时刻，非洲国家和人民给予有力声援和支持，我们铭记在心，并克服各种困难向所有非洲在华人员特别是留学生给予关爱和保障。在非洲疫情日趋严峻的形势下，中国从政府到民间都积极行动起来，紧急驰援非洲，多批援助物资已运抵非洲，带去了中国人民对非洲兄弟姐妹的深情厚谊，体现了中非间相互支持、相互帮扶的优良传统，得到非洲国家和非盟的高度评价。中方在自身抗疫任务艰巨的情况下，仍通过各种渠道向非盟和非洲国家提供了检测试剂盒、口罩、防护服和护目镜、防护面罩、额温枪、医用手套和鞋套、呼吸机等大量物资。疫情无情人有情。下一步，中方还将继续向非洲兄弟提供更多力所能及的帮助。

China and Africa are good friends, partners and brothers. Our friendship is forged on the basis of joint efforts to seek national independence, liberation, economic development and better livelihood in the past decades. Such time-tested friendship is a treasure for both Chinese and African people. Humanity shines through the darkness of the epidemic. After the Ebola epidemics broke out in three West African countries in 2014, the Chinese government provided assistance at the earliest time possible and fought side by side with the African countries and people. Now faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, China and Africa are again tiding over difficulties hand in hand, and our friendship is again elevated. We will not forget the support from Africa during our most difficult times. While overcoming difficulties at home, we also give love and care to all African citizens in China, especially African students. As the situation is getting more severe in Africa, the Chinese government and people have urgently delivered batches of supplies to the continent. Our assistance, conveying deep friendship for our African brothers and sisters, demonstrates our fine tradition of mutual assistance and mutual support, and has been highly acclaimed by African countries and the African Union. While arduously fight the virus at home, China has donated large amounts of test kits, masks, protective suits, goggles, face shields, forehead thermometers, medical-use gloves, shoe covers, ventilators and other supplies to the African Union and African countries. We will continue helping our African brothers to the best of our ability.

针对当前一些非洲朋友的关切，广东方面高度重视，迅速进行梳理排查，加紧改进完善工作方式，包括按照无差别对待原则落实各项健康管理服务，指定专门酒店供需要医学观察的外国人入住，适当减免经济困难人员住宿费用；同外国驻广州总领馆建立有效沟通机制；坚决反对任何种族主义、歧视性言论等。中国人民一直视非洲人民为风雨同舟、患难与共的伙伴和兄弟，中非友谊在中国大地深入人心，牢不可破。非洲的朋友们在中国一定会得到公平公正、亲切友好的对待。外交部将继续同广东方面密切对接，积极回应非方的合理关切和正当诉求。

The Guangdong authorities attach great importance to some African countries’ concerns and are working promptly to improve their working method. The measures include: to provide health management services without differentiation, to designate hotels for the accommodation of foreigners required to undergo medical observation and adopt price adjustment for those in financial difficulties; to set up effective communication mechanism with foreign consulates-general in Guangzhou; and to reject all racist and discriminatory remarks. The Chinese people always see in the African people partners and brothers through thick and thin. China-Africa friendship is unbreakable as it is deeply rooted in this land. African friends can count on getting fair, just, cordial and friendly reception in China. The foreign ministry will stay in close communication with the Guangdong authorities and continue responding to the African side’s reasonable concerns and legitimate appeals.
