導語：保利將致力于將非洲文化帶給中國的觀眾，同時積極參與非洲國家文化交流中心的運營和管理。
保利集團總部位于北京，該公司未來將為更多非洲偏遠和農村地區提供清潔、價格合理的太陽能以及質量合格的戶用照明和能源產品。
保利集團總經理張振高在北京中非合作論壇期間表示，該公司將接觸更多非洲農村和偏遠地區，包括烏干達和坦桑尼亞，為沒有通電的居民提供替代照明和能源。
張振高表示，保利在積極開拓公司海外項目的同時，還將向當地居民捐贈一批學校，便攜式房屋，太陽能水泵系統以及書籍，藥店和運動器材等，進一步提高這些偏遠地區的生活水平。
保利集團參加了由世界銀行出資的“點亮非洲”項目，向埃塞俄比亞能源部門提供了28,735套太陽能發電系統，目前已經在八個州安裝使用。
太陽能系統大多數都建于位置偏僻、接入電網成本過高、物流運輸困難的地方，經過五年的發展，已惠及農村的終端使用者，為他們提供清潔而經濟的照明產品。
中國保利集團董事長徐念沙表示，保利集團目前在非洲有67個海外工程及成套項目，總合同金額為55億美元，目前有17家正在建設中，總合同金額高達9.89億美元。保利集團迄今已與50多個非洲國家建立了長期的經貿合作，主要集中在經貿合作和海外工程領域，如交通，工業和住房領域。2017年與非洲國家的貿易合同達到了8.01億美元。
徐念沙表示，公司未來還將推動中非在演出和戲劇管理方面的合作，將中國文化產品出口到非洲市場，同時向中國市場推出更多非洲經典作品，文化出口承擔著不同國家之間文化交流的責任，有助于增強一個國家的軟實力。
徐念沙說，“隨著中非人民之間的友誼不斷加深，保利將為擴大雙方之間的人文交流做出更多的努力。中國和非洲有著相似的歷史發展階段，在文化產業合作方面有著巨大潛力。中非文化交流應該是雙邊的，除了要將中國文化介紹到非洲大陸之外，保利也將把非洲文化帶給中國觀眾，并積極參與非洲國家文化交流中心的管理和運營。”
Poly brings light to more places
Poly looks to showcase African culture to the Chinese audience and actively participates in the management and operation of the African national cultural exchange center.
Beijing-headquartered conglomerate China Poly Group Corp is planning to provide more remote and rural areas in Africa with clean and affordable solar power and quality-verified off-grid lighting and energy products.
The company will look to tap rural and remote areas in Africa, including Uganda and Tanzania, to provide alternative lighting and energy sources for the off-grid population, Zhang Zhengao, president of China Poly Group, said during the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing.
Based on the company's overseas engineering projects, Poly said it would also donate a batch of schools, portable houses, solar water pumping systems as well as materials including books, medicines and sports equipment to local residents in the future, to further improve the living standards in these remote areas, he said.
According to Zhang, Poly Group has provided 28,735 solar power systems for Ethiopia, which are currently being installed across eight states in the country, as part of the lighting Africa/Ethiopia program financed by the World Bank.
In five years, the solar power systems, mostly in very remote areas where grid access is costly and logistically challenging, has helped provide rural end-users with clean and affordable lighting products.
Poly Group has to date undertaken 67 projects and plants in Africa for a total contracted amount of $5.5 billion. As many as 17 of these projects are currently under construction with a total contracted amount of up to $989 million, said Xu Niansha, chairman of China Poly Group Corp.
The corporation, which has set up long-term economic and trade cooperation with more than 50 African countries so far, has been operating mostly in projects focused on economic and trade cooperation and in transportation, industrial and housing construction in overseas markets. Trade contracts with African countries in 2017 reached $801 million, he said.
According to Xu, the company will step up cooperation in the performances and theater management sector, and look to export more Chinese cultural products to African markets, while introducing African classics to the Chinese market.
"Cultural exports, which undertake the responsibility of cultural communication between different countries, will help enhance the soft power of a country," he said.
"As the friendship between Chinese and African peoples continues to be strengthened, Poly will make more efforts to expand people-to-people exchanges."
According to Xu, China and Africa, with similar historical development phases, has tremendous potential in cultural industries cooperation.
China-Africa cultural exchange should be bilateral, and in addition to introducing Chinese culture to the African continent, Poly will look to showcase African culture to the Chinese audience and actively participate in the management and operation of the African national cultural exchange center, he said.
