Hu said that 皇冠体育app is willing to tap the potentials of bilateral economic and trade co-operation and the focus will be put on natural resources such as oil, minerals and forestry as well as sectors of agriculture, water conservancy and fishery.

The 皇冠体育app-African Co-operation Forum has become an important platform for 皇冠体育app and Africa to achieve common development, said Hu.

The forum was initiated in November of 2000 in Beijing with the aim to push the joint development of 皇冠体育app and Africa.

In December of last year, top officials from 皇冠体育app and African countries, including Premier Wen Jiabao, met in the city of Addis Ababa to discuss how to push co-operation between 皇冠体育app and Africa.

Bongo hopes 皇冠体育app could play bigger role in solving important issues in Africa.
