近年来，在全球经济复苏乏力的背景下，中非贸易仍然持续了较快发展的态势。

　　Against the background of sluggish global economic recovery in recent years, China-Africa trade development has maintained comparatively rapid momentum.

　　2009年，中国成为非洲第一大贸易伙伴国。此后两年多时间里，中非贸易规模迅速扩大。

　　In 2009, China became Africa’s No. 1 trade partner. In the following two years, the scale of China-Africa trade expanded rapidly.

　　2012年，中国与非洲贸易总额达到1984.9亿美元，同比增长19.3%。其中，中国对非洲出口额853.19亿美元，增长16.7%;自非洲进口额1131.71亿美元，增长21.4%。

　　In 2012, the total volume of China-Africa trade reached US$198.49 billion, a year-on-year growth of 19.3%. Of this, US$85.319 billion consisted of China’s exports to Africa, up 16.7%, and US$113.171 billion was contributed by China’s imports from Africa, up 21.4%.

　　中非贸易总额、中国对非洲出口总额，以及自非洲进口总额均创历史新高。

　　Total China-Africa trade volume, China’s export volume to Africa and China’s import volume from Africa all reached new highs.

　　2009年以来，非洲地区吸收外国直接投资连续下滑，但中国对非直接投资快速增加。

　　Since 2009, Africa has seen a decrease of foreign direct investment,but an accelerated growth of direct investment from China during this same period.

　　据统计，2009—2012年，中国对非直接投资流量由14.4亿美元增至25.2亿美元，年均增长20.5%，存量由93.3亿美元增至212.3亿美元，增长1.3倍。

　　From 2009 to 2012, China’s direct investment in Africa increased from US$1.44 billion to US$2.52 billion, with an annual growth rate of 20.5%. Over the same period, China’s accumulative direct investment in Africa increased from US$9.33 billion to US$21.23 billion, 2.3 times the 2009 figure.

　　中国对非投资的快速增长，一方面说明非洲的发展潜力和投资吸引力，另一方面也体现出中非合作的互补性。

　　The rapid growth of China’s direct investment in Africa is indicative ofAfrica’s development potential and investment appeal, and also points to the mutually beneficial nature of China-Africa cooperation.

　　基础设施建设是改善非洲投资环境和民生条件的根本支撑，对非洲减贫和发展至关重要。

　　Infrastructure construction is a starting point for improving the investment environment and people’s livelihoods in Africa, and is of great importance for poverty reduction and development on the continent.

　　In 2012, Chinese enterprises completed construction contracts worth US$40.83 billion in Africa, an increase of 45% over 2009, accounting for 35.02% of China’s overseas contract work completed.
