On 11 September,along the side-lines of UN Day for South-South cooperation,UNOSSC and CADFund have jointly launched the South-South in Action Report on“China-Africa Development Fund:Promoting the Sustainable Development of Africa through South-South Investment”,including the case of Hisense Appliance Industrial Park Project.UNOSSC and CADFund launched this important publication on today’s online event.Mr.Jia Shaoqian,President of Hisense Group,Ms.Xiaojun Grace Wang,Deputy Director of Programmes and Operations,United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation,Mr.Song Le,Chairman of CADFund and others attended.
“海信与非洲的关系非同寻常。”海信集团总裁贾少谦提到，“1996年我们首次踏入这个彩虹的国度，也是海信迈出全球化进程的第一步。作为非洲的桥头堡，我们扎根南非，25年来海信品牌的产品和技术遍布这块大陆。”
The relationship between Hisense and Africa is extraordinary,”said Jia Shaoqian,President of Hisense Group.“In 1996,as our first big step towards global development,Hisense entered into the rainbow nation—South Africa.As the bridgehead of our operations in Africa,our products and technologies have steadily spread across the continent now for 25 years.”
多年来，全球各地见证着南南合作不同形式的发展，值此周年纪念日，为我们提供了一个回顾历程和成就的时机。联合国与中非基金一起，推出该出版物，希望通过介绍海信与其他企业的发展历程以及背后的社会经济影响，为更多发展中国家的企业提供借鉴。
Over the years,the world has witnessed the development of South-South cooperation in different forms,and this anniversary provides us with an opportunity to reflect on its history and achievements.The publication demonstrates the concrete activities and the socio-economic impacts through Hisense and other enterprises’case studies,giving reference for more enterprises in developing countries.
2013年3月，中非发展基金与海信集团签署投资合作协议，共同投资建设了海信南非家电产业园，中国国家主席习近平和当时的南非总统雅各布·祖马先生共同见证了签字仪式。得益于联合国“南南合作”框架与精神的指引，得益于中非发展基金和南非政府的大力帮助，海信在南非一步一个脚印发展壮大——从约翰内斯堡到开普敦，从区区几名员工到近千人的园区，从单一电视产品到覆盖冰箱、手机等多个品类，海信电视和冰箱产品牢牢占据南非市场占有率第一。
In March 2013,Hisense Group and the China Africa Development Fund jointly signed an investment cooperation agreement to support the construction of the Hisense South Africa Appliance Industrial Park.President Xi of China and then-President Zuma of South Africa witnessed the signing.Benefiting from the framework and spirit of UNOSSC and the great efforts from the China Africa Development Fund and South Africa’s Government,Hisense has developed into a major player in South Africa,one step at a time.From Johannesburg to Cape Town,from a few employees to now nearly one thousand in our industrial park,from a single product category of TVs to now multiple categories including refrigerators and smartphones.
今天，海信南非家电工业园不仅成为海信全球化战略的重要支点，也对当地的制造业水平、社会经济发展等产生了深远的影响，赢得了非洲人民的交口称赞和国际社会的积极肯定。海信南非家电产业园年产能已提升为冰箱55万台，电视机100万台，这不仅促进了当地制造业的可持续发展，同时为当地带来了大量的就业机会。截止目前，海信南非公司雇用了800多名当地员工，占员工总数的90%，并间接为当地社会创造了超过5000个工作岗位。
Today,the Hisense South Africa Appliance Industrial Park has not only become an important fulcrum of Hisense's globalization strategy,but also exerts a far-reaching influence on the local manufacturing industry,social and economic development,and positive affirmation from the international community.By August 2020,the annual output of Hisense South Africa Appliance Industrial Park has grown to 1,000,000 TVs and 550,000 refrigerators.This not only promotes the sustainable development of local manufacturing,but also brings a large number of employment opportunities to South Africa.Hisense hires more than 800 local staff,accounting for 90%of the workforce,and indirectly creates more than 5,000 jobs for the local community.
海信南非工业园建成后，带动了当地制造业及配套产业全面升级。在海信南非工业园内，海信南非坚持使用清洁能源，减少传统电能的消耗；并且源源不断的向南非输出最新的技术和产品，提升了当地消费者的整体生活质量，还通过智能电视给非洲带来免费的教育资源。与此同时，海信积极承担社会责任，先后向多个机构捐赠产品、提供援助。在新冠疫情爆发后，向医院和社区捐赠了大量的产品和防疫物资，南非劳工部、开普敦市政府及媒体高度赞扬海信为当地社区所做的贡献。
Hisense’s industry park actively promotes the overall growth of local manufacturing and interrelated industries.In addition,the company insists on using clean energy and reducing the consumption of conventional electricity at our industrial park.Hisense has been continuously bringing the latest technology and products to South Africa,and provide free educational resources to Africa through our Smart TVs.At the same time,Hisense has actively undertaken social responsibilities by donating products and providing assistance to many organizations.In early 2020,after the COVID-19 outbreak,Hisense has organized a series of donation activities offering large numbers of product and epidemic prevention supplies to hospitals and communities nationwide,generating high praise from the South African Department of Labour,Cape Town government and local media.
追溯既往，海信的发展与南南合作可谓密不可分。面向未来，我们坚信将有更多和海信一样的企业在非洲扎根发展，为非洲大陆不断提供技术、资金和解决方案的支持，为非洲人民带来更好的产品、更好的生活、更有希望的未来。
Looking back,Hisense's development is inseparable from South-South cooperation.As we look into the future,we believe more Chinese companies like Hisense will take root in Africa and provide technology,capital and solutions to the African continent,bringing better products,better lives and a more promising future.
