The 'initiative for the China-Africa Think Tanks 10+10 Partnership Plan' is a statement issued in Beijing on October 22, 2013, by representatives of 16 think tanks from China and Africa. It outlines a framework for long-term academic cooperation to support the sustainable development of Sino-African relations and enhance the global discourse power of developing countries.

• The China-Africa Think Tanks 10+10 Partnership Plan, as proposed in the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC)-Beijing Action Plan (2013-2015), involves selecting 10 Chinese think tanks and 10 African think tanks to establish long-term paired cooperation relationships.
• The partnership aims to increase the 'discourse power' of developing countries in international affairs by creating original intellectual systems and knowledge products based on the pragmatic needs of China and Africa.
• The initiative calls for specific actions to strengthen academic ties, including the joint publication of high-quality papers, reports, or books, and the creation of a professional academic community with a focus on cultivating young personnel through direct experience in China and African countries.
• The document emphasizes the need for increased resource investment, specifically calling for the development of libraries, information centers, museums, and internet databases to support China- and Africa-related research.
