In the future, the center will effectively strengthen cultural exchanges between Zhejiang and Africa, further supporting the local promotion of Jinhua’s cultural tourism. Local cooperation with Africa is a crucial component of China–Africa relations, and in recent years, with the care and support of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and Government, Jinhua has attached great importance to expanding relations with Africa. Rooted in complementary advantages and focusing on connectivity, it actively promotes comprehensive cooperation with Africa in tourism, culture, education, economy, trade, technology, and training, aiming to establish a key hub for China–Africa cooperation and exchanges at both the provincial and national levels. In the next step, taking the successful event as an opportunity, Jinhua will deepen exchanges in various aspects such as platform construction, technological support, and talent development. It will accelerate the implementation of the Zhejiang–Africa cooperation plan, continuing to write a new chapter in China–Africa cooperation, contributing to the construction of a closer China–Africa community with a shared future.
