亞非婦女發展與權益保障促進會趙美玲會長致歡迎詞。馬拉維前總統喬伊斯班達閣下發表了視頻講話，于洪君副部長、靳諾副主席發表主旨演講，南非駐華大使等分別致辭。中國企業和治友德集團介紹了推進健康事業發展的經驗。

由中國和平發展基金會、亞非婦女發展與權益保障促進會共同發起“全球女性與兒童發展項目”—完成首個公益項目“愛在馬拉維助學計劃”。

論壇期間，還舉辦了以“亞非女性——攜手發展”為主題的圖片展。近10個駐華大使館和多家中國企業參與。

與會嘉賓暢所欲言，回顧女性發展歷程，分享女性發展經驗，闡述婦女事業發展面臨的機遇與挑戰，并積極建言獻策，達成廣泛共識：

— 注意到，近年來女性事業的不斷發展彰顯出各國政府，特別是領導人的政治引領作用的重要性，更離不開社會各界的廣泛參與。中國婦女事業的進步與全球婦女事業的發展息息相關。婦女事業的發展，離不開經濟社會同步發展和全球婦女事業精誠合作。

— 認識到，亞非國家女性事業的發展依然很不平衡，離廣大女性的期望仍有較大差距。一些地區疫情嚴峻，動蕩頻仍，信息鴻溝、貧富差距的鴻溝加劇，給女性事業的發展造成越來越多的不確定性。

— 堅信包容互信，深化合作是解難題，謀發展，求共贏的最佳選擇。“一帶一路”建設的不斷深化，為女性的發展帶來共商共建共享的新機遇。

— 加強文化交流互鑒是增進民心相通的重要途徑。女性肩負著人類的傳承和人類美德傳承的重要使命。同樣，女性應成為傳播各國優秀文化的使者。

— 熱烈 祝賀中國和平發展基金會、亞非婦女發展與權益保障促進會共同發起的“全球女性與兒童發展項目”正式啟動。這將給越來越多的女性和兒童帶來希望，前景可期。向關心和支持女性事業發展的企業和各界人士致以崇高的敬意。

— 一致認為， 在全球疫情反復，地緣政治沖突加劇的背景下，來自亞非地區駐華使節和各界嘉賓，線上線下相聚一堂，共謀發展，充分體現了舉辦第二屆亞非女性發展與合作論壇的獨特價值。各方對各位嘉賓的精彩致辭予以高度評價，對論壇的成功舉辦表示熱烈祝賀。

Consensus of the second Asian-African Forum on Women's Development and Cooperation

The second Asian-African Women's Development and Cooperation Forum organized by the Women Empowerment & Development Society in Asia-Africa was held in Beijing on September 22, 2022. Yu Hongjun, former vice minister of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee, JinNuo, former vice president of the all-China Women's Federation, Xu Jianguo, secretary general of the China Foundation for Peace and Development, and diplomatic envoys and representatives of international organizations from Asia and Africa were invited to attend.

Zhao Meiling, president of the WEDS.AA, delivered a welcome speech. His Excellency Joyce Banda, former president of Malawi, delivered a video speech, Vice Minister Yu Hongjun and Vice Chairman Jin Nuo delivered a keynote speech, and South AfricanAmbassador to China and other distinguished guests respectively delivered speeches. Chinese enterprise Foherb（Tianjin ）Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. introduced their experience in promoting the development of the health cause.

During the forum, a roundtable dialogue was held with the theme of "How to Help Develop She Economy". The wife of the Ambassador of Sierra Leone to China, the Minister of Nepal, the Counsellor of Indonesia, the Counsellor of Pakistan and the Counsellor of South Sudan shared their experiences in women's economic development and put forward suggestions on further deepening exchanges and mutual learning and win-win cooperation.

The Global Women and Children Development Project, jointly launched by the China Foundation for Peace and Development and the WEDS.AA completed the program of Love in Malawi, the first public welfare project.

During the forum, a photo exhibition with the theme of "Asian and African Women, Development hand in hand" was also held. Nearly 10 embassies in China and a number of Chinese enterprises participated.

Participants spoke freely, reviewed the course of women's development, shared women's development experience, expounded the opportunities and challenges facing women's career development, actively made suggestions and reached a broad consensus:

It has been noted that the continuous development of women's cause in recent years highlights the importance of the political leading role of governments, especially leaders, and is inseparable from the extensive participation of all sectors of the society. The progress of Chinese women's cause is closely related to the development of global women's cause. The development of women's cause is inseparable from simultaneous economic and social development and sincere cooperation in the global women's cause.

It is recognized that the development of women's careers in Asian and African countries is still very uneven, and there is still a big gap between them and the expectations of the majority of women. The epidemic situation in some areas is serious, the turbulence is frequent, and the information gap and the gap between the rich and the poor have intensified, causing more and more uncertainty to the development of women's careers.

We firmly believe that inclusiveness and mutual trust and deepening cooperation are the best choice for solving difficult problems, seeking development and win-win results. The continuous deepening of the construction of "Belt and Road Initiative" has brought new opportunities of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits for women's development.

Strengthening cultural exchanges and mutual learning is an important way to enhance people-to-people communication. Women shoulder the important mission of human inheritance and human virtue inheritance. Similarly, women should become ambassadors to spread the excellent culture of various countries.

Warmly congratulate the China Peace and Development Foundation and the Asian-African Association for the Promotion of Women's Development and Rights and interests on the official launch of the Global Women and Children Development Project. This will bring hope to more and more women and children, and the future is promising. I would like to express my high respect to enterprises and people from all walks of life who care about and support the development of women's cause.

It is agreed that against the background of repeated global epidemics and intensified geopolitical conflicts, diplomatic envoys and guests from all walks of life from the Asian and African regions have gathered online and offline to seek common development. It fully reflects the unique value of hosting the second Asian-African Women's Development and Cooperation Forum. All parties spoke highly of the distinguished guests' wonderful speeches and expressed warm congratulations on the successful holding of the forum.

Beijing, September 22, 2022
