Objectives
To promote China-Africa friendship

Introduction
The China-Africa Friendship Award was set up by the CAPFA in 2006 during Beijing Summit and 3rd Ministerial Conference of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. The award is given to the Chinese and African individuals, enterprises or organizations that have been long engaged and made outstanding achievements in China-Africa friendship, so as to set up models in China-Africa friendly exchanges and further develop the traditional China-Africa friendship and the brotherhood between the peoples.
 
It is expected that by commending those who have made outstanding achievements in China-Africa friendly exchanges through this award, more people from all walks of life will be attracted to the cause of China-Africa friendship, and that this friendship will go deeper in the hearts of the Chinese and African people.
