中美中心主任纪伟热情接待了南非代表团，双方就温室大棚建造、果蔬品种和种植技术输出、国际培训等方面进行了深入探讨。会议最后，双方达成了共建温室大棚的合作意向，拟在比勒陀利亚合作共建一个占地5-10公顷的蔬菜大棚示范园区。该项目旨在帮助南非政府向南非中小农户示范推广温室大棚技术、改变中小农农业结构，从而推动南非中小农经济的发展。TL Nedambale教授正式向中美中心发出了访问邀请，希望通过互访增进相互了解，为进一步探讨合作奠定基础。
Director Wei Ji of SUFAIC warmly received the South African delegation. An in-depth discussion on greenhouse construction, export of fruit and vegetable varieties and planting technology, as well as international training was conducted between the two sides. At the end of the meeting, an cooperation intention on co-construction of a 5 to 10 hectares of greenhouse demonstration park in Pretoria, South Africa was reached between SUFAIC and the Delegation. This project aims to assist the South African government in demonstrating and promoting greenhouse technology to smallholder farmers in South Africa, transforming the agricultural structure of smallholder agriculture, and thus promote the development of smallholder agriculture in South Africa. Prof. TL Nedambale formally extended an invitation to SUFAIC, hoping to enhance mutual understanding through mutual visits and lay a foundation for further exploration of cooperation.
南非代表团此次来访意义深远。作为南南合作的典范，南非和中国正处于金砖合作第二个“金色十年”。中国政府与南非政府大力倡导“一带一路”建设、加强金砖国家合作，通过共享发展成果，实现共同富裕共同繁荣。中美中心作为潍坊综试区拓展国际合作的中坚力量，正是响应了中国政府关于共建金砖利益共同体和中非命运共同体的号召，将搭乘金砖之船，把企业间合作融入到金砖国家合作框架中，促进互利共赢，实现共同发展。
The South African delegation’s visit is of far-reaching significance. As a model of South-South cooperation, South Africa and China are in the second “golden decade” of BRICS cooperation. The Chinese government and the South African government strongly advocate the “Belt and Road Initiative” , and cooperation among BRICS with an attempt to achieve common prosperity through sharing development achievements. As the backbone of Weifang Comprehensive Pilot Zone for Opening-up Development of Agriculture Industry on expanding international engagement, SUFAIC responds to the call of the Chinese government on building a BRICS Community of Interests and China-Africa Community with a Shared Future. It will take the BRICS boat and integrate the cooperation between Chinese and South Africa enterprises into the BRICS cooperation framework to promote mutual benefit and win-win development.
