Industrial development is of critical importance for sustained and inclusive economic growth in African countries. This year’s Africa Industrialization Day marks a milestone as we highlight how the African Continental Free Trade Agreement will boost regional economic transformation and sustainable development.

工业发展对非洲国家的持续包容性经济增长至关重要。今年非洲工业化日是一个里程碑，彰显《非洲大陆自由贸易协定》如何促进区域经济转型和可持续发展。

Africa’s manufacturing has been growing faster than the world average, but this pace needs gain even more speed.  With the new trade agreement ushering in a market of at least $3 trillion and a consumer base of more than 1.3 billion people, Africa’s manufacturing sector is projected to double in size by 2025 and create millions of jobs.

非洲制造业增长率一直高于世界平均水平，但仍需要加快步伐，提高速度。新贸易协定催生了一个至少3万亿美元的市场和一个超过13亿人的消费群体，预计到2025年非洲制造业的规模将翻一番并创造数百万个就业机会。

I call on African countries to adopt a holistic approach to industrial policy, pursuing, through stronger multi-stakeholder partnerships, green and clean industrialization strategies that promote equitable economic opportunities and take into account the urgency of addressing the climate crisis.

我呼吁非洲国家采取通盘办法制定产业政策，通过加强多利益攸关方伙伴关系，实行各项能够促进公平经济机会、顾及应对气候危机紧迫需要的绿色清洁工业化战略。

The Third Industrial Decade for Africa, proclaimed by the General Assembly, shows the commitment of the international community to Africa’s path toward sustainable development. The United Nations remains strongly committed to accelerating these efforts and to working with Africa to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.

大会宣布第三个非洲工业发展十年表明了国际社会对非洲可持续发展道路的承诺。联合国仍然坚定地致力于加紧努力并与非洲开展合作，以实现《2030年可持续发展议程》和非洲联盟《2063年议程》的目标。
