非洲工会代表团来湘访问交流

An African delegation came to Hunan for visits and exchanges at the invitation of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) between October 19 and 21, 2024. The 28 delegates were trade union leaders from national trade union organizations in African countries, the Bureau for Workers' Activities of the International Labour Organization, and the Organization of African Unity.

10月19日至21日，应中华全国总工会邀请，非洲国家全国性工会组织以及国际劳工组织工人活动局、非洲工会统一组织的28位工会领导人组成代表团来湘访问交流。

Zhou Nong, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial People's Congress and chairman of the Hunan Federation of Trade Unions, warmly welcomed the guests and introduced the status of friendly exchanges between Hunan and African trade union organizations.

省人大常委会副主任、省总工会主席周农对代表团的到来表示热烈欢迎，并介绍了湘非工会组织友好交往和交流情况。

The delegation went to Shaoshan to visit the Mao Zedong Memorial Museum and the Former Residence of Mao Zedong. In Changsha, the delegates visited the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center and the Longping Rice Museum to learn about the history of the development of rice hybrids and the results of the latest research. The group immersed themselves in the lighthouse factory of the Sany Group to experience the charm of Hunan's advanced manufacturing industry. At the Changsha County Trade Union Changlong Station, participants learned about the initiatives of Hunan's trade union organizations to support workers in new forms of employment.

在湘访问交流期间，代表团一行前往韶山参观了毛泽东同志纪念馆和故居；在长沙参观杂交水稻研究中心、隆平水稻博物馆，了解杂交水稻发展历史和最新研究成果，并在三一集团“灯塔工厂”沉浸式体验湖南先进制造业魅力；在长沙县工会驿站长龙站详细了解湖南工会组织服务新就业形态劳动者的举措。

With the growing cooperation between China and Africa, Hunan has undertaken two major assignments: hosting the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo and building the Pioneering Zone for In-depth China-Africa Economic and Trade Cooperation. The Hunan Federation of Trade Unions has responded positively to the Belt and Road Initiative. In recent years, the federation has continued to deepen friendly exchanges with African trade union organizations, continuously innovating forms of exchange and enriching the collaboration. The federation has strove to achieve greater results, contributing to the building of a closer, high-level China-Africa community with a shared future.

中非合作日益密切，湖南被赋予举办中非经贸博览会和建设中非经贸深度合作先行区两项重大使命。湖南省总工会积极响应共建“一带一路”倡议，近年来，持续深化与非洲工会组织间的友好往来，不断创新交流形式、丰富合作内容，务求取得更大成效，为构建更加紧密的高水平中非命运共同体作出应有贡献。

The African guests noted that Hunan and Africa have long shared a deep friendship. The delegation hoped to further develop friendly relations and strengthen cooperation with Hunan trade union organizations, so as to make new contributions to the China-Africa partnership and to their common development.

此次来湘访问交流的非洲工会代表均表示，湘非早已建立深厚友谊，希望与湖南工会组织进一步发展友好关系，加强合作，为促进中非合作、共同发展作出新的贡献。
