The forum will usher in a new era for the Belt and Road Initiative and the documents signed during the forum will be a blueprint for the next three years.
The summit is scheduled for September 3-4 under the theme of "China and Africa: toward an even stronger community with a shared future through win-win cooperation."
As one of the four major events on China's diplomatic calendar in 2018, the FOCAC Beijing summit will be chaired by President Xi Jinping, who will also hold relevant activities on the sidelines of the summit.
