["Blue Book on China-Africa Standardization Cooperation and Development" released] On November 11, reporters learned from the National Standards Committee today that the China Institute of Standardization recently released the "China-Africa Standardization Cooperation and Development Blue Book", which systematically sorts out the development process of China-Africa standardization cooperation. At present, China-Africa standardization cooperation has formed a development pattern of "multi-field linkage, institutional support, and industrialization". In terms of trade cooperation, China has been Africa's largest trading partner for 16 consecutive years, with China-Africa trade volume reaching US$348.05 billion in 2025. The Blue Book proposes that standardization cooperation has been upgraded to an important pillar of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation. Looking forward to the "15th Five-Year Plan", standardization cooperation between China and Africa should strengthen capacity building, innovate the "demonstration park+" model, improve information sharing platforms, build a solid foundation for "soft connectivity" of China-Africa standards, and empower high-quality economic and social development of both sides.
