The core of China-Africa friendship is "equality and mutual benefit" and "win-win development". The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) is a triennial ministerial meeting held alternately between China and Africa, which embodies the spirit of "equal" and "common" participation. In reality, China's development assistance to Africa comes with no strings attached and shows more respect than anything else. China has opened its market to more and more commodities from African countries, helped them build roads, Bridges and infrastructure, and set up industrial parks to raise the level of industrialization of African countries. All these embody the essence of the concept of "win-win development".
