He pointed out that thanks to the CNPC’s strong assistance, Sudan has transformed itself from a crude oil importing country into a crude oil exporting country and has established a complete industrial chain for the oil industry; led by the rapid development of the oil industry, Sudan’s overall economy is developing vigorously and entering a phase of economic boom.
Attention to human resources development is a salient feature of China-Sudan cooperation. According to the eight-point consensus reached at the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China shall strengthen cooperation with Africa in such areas as human resources development and education and will actively train and develop talent for Africa.
Al-Jaz said that the Chinese Government and a batch of Chinese enterprises, represented by the CNPC, have established a unique model of cooperation with the Sudanese Government and enterprises over time. Under this model, the Chinese Government and enterprises not only provide capital, technology, and equipment for Sudan, but also attach great importance to Sudan’s human resources development.
All the projects that the CNPC has invested in so far around Sudan are actively training and employing local Sudanese employees, to translate into action the consensus of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation on human resources development. In the CNPC-invested projects, such as oilfields and the Khartoum oil refinery, numerous CNPC-trained local Sudanese employees are working there. They include not only a large number of operatives, but also a batch of mid-level and senior professional managers.
