The leaders' roundtable meeting for the Beijing Summit of the
Forum on China-Africa Cooperation continued in the afternoon and
will conclude later Sunday, before two historic documents, a
declaration and an action plan for 2007-2009, are adopted.
Following the summit, Chinese, Ethiopia and Egyptian foreign
ministers are expected to jointly meet the press.
Earlier Sunday, the 2nd Conference of Chinese and African
Entrepreneurs concluded with 16 agreements signed between 12
Chinese enterprises and African governments and firms, worth of
nearly US$1.9 billion in total.
The two-day landmark summit has been widely acclaimed as the
most important and largest gathering between Chinese and African
leaders since the founding of the People's Republic of China in
1949.
