The 2015 Africa-China Commodities, Technology and Services Expo and Chongqing Export Commodities Expo was launched on Thursday in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.
China's trade with African states has grown about ten times in the last decade, with the total value likely to hit $300 billion this year, according to the Fourth China-Africa Industrial Forum.
The 4th China Africa Industrial Forum (CAIF) has brought more than 400 Chinese and African political and business leaders to Beijing to explore investment opportunities in Africa.
China on Monday said that it will work with Africa on the construction of three major infrastructure networks, namely high speed railway, aviation and road highways.
Over the past decade Sino-African relations have flourished, mainly in the areas of economic, social, military, science and technology, and education. Economic cooperation tops that list, of course, with bilateral trade passing the $200 billion mark in 2013 and is widely expected to rise to $385 billion.
