Abstract

Sports, as an important branch of people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and Africa, plays an important role in promoting the overall development of society and economy, and enhancing national identity of different ethnic groups and also the mutual understanding of people in different nations. However, compared with other humanities fields, sports exchanges between China and Africa has lagged far behind, so the future China-Africa sports cooperation and exchanges should take the promotion of capacity-building, economic development and popular national identity among African countries as the main guidelines. Besides the traditional way of stadiums construction, financial support and sports coaching aid, the future cooperation should adhere to the principles of unity, cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, giving full play to all aspects like competitive or mass sports, as well as sports events, education, industry and tourism and related research, to facilitate the construction of a civilized, peaceful and prosperous Africa and mutual understanding.
