Yiwu sees fruits of Sino-African ties

Sylla Souleymane buries himself in his business and hardly has time to watch TV.

But the Malian businessman made an exception this time - he was glued to the TV all night watching the news about President Hu Jintao's Mali tour.

"Hu's visit to Mali is not only to strengthen the friendship between China and our country, but also to bring many benefits to us. I really appreciate it," Souleymane said.
