导语：保利将致力于将非洲文化带给中国的观众，同时积极参与非洲国家文化交流中心的运营和管理。
保利集团总部位于北京，该公司未来将为更多非洲偏远和农村地区提供清洁、价格合理的太阳能以及质量合格的户用照明和能源产品。
保利集团总经理张振高在北京中非合作论坛期间表示，该公司将接触更多非洲农村和偏远地区，包括乌干达和坦桑尼亚，为没有通电的居民提供替代照明和能源。
张振高表示，保利在积极开拓公司海外项目的同时，还将向当地居民捐赠一批学校，便携式房屋，太阳能水泵系统以及书籍，药店和运动器材等，进一步提高这些偏远地区的生活水平。
保利集团参加了由世界银行出资的“点亮非洲”项目，向埃塞俄比亚能源部门提供了28,735套太阳能发电系统，目前已经在八个州安装使用。
太阳能系统大多数都建于位置偏僻、接入电网成本过高、物流运输困难的地方，经过五年的发展，已惠及农村的终端使用者，为他们提供清洁而经济的照明产品。
中国保利集团董事长徐念沙表示，保利集团目前在非洲有67个海外工程及成套项目，总合同金额为55亿美元，目前有17家正在建设中，总合同金额高达9.89亿美元。保利集团迄今已与50多个非洲国家建立了长期的经贸合作，主要集中在经贸合作和海外工程领域，如交通，工业和住房领域。2017年与非洲国家的贸易合同达到了8.01亿美元。
徐念沙表示，公司未来还将推动中非在演出和戏剧管理方面的合作，将中国文化产品出口到非洲市场，同时向中国市场推出更多非洲经典作品，文化出口承担着不同国家之间文化交流的责任，有助于增强一个国家的软实力。
徐念沙说，“随着中非人民之间的友谊不断加深，保利将为扩大双方之间的人文交流做出更多的努力。中国和非洲有着相似的历史发展阶段，在文化产业合作方面有着巨大潜力。中非文化交流应该是双边的，除了要将中国文化介绍到非洲大陆之外，保利也将把非洲文化带给中国观众，并积极参与非洲国家文化交流中心的管理和运营。”
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.
