ADB hails Sino-African ties

Tunesia: “Cooperation between China and Africa is welcomed by the two sides,” Donald Kaberuka, president of African Development Bank (ADB), said in a recent exclusive interview with Xinhua.

China and Africa should further “deepen and improve” their mutually beneficial cooperation, said Kaberuka, who will make a four-day official visit to China starting from Wednesday, at the invitation of China’s central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan.

Kaberuka spoke highly of the cooperation between China and Africa and between the two banks, saying “China has been an active member of the ADB since it joined the bank and the African Development Fund (ADF) in 1985.”

He noted vigorous efforts are being made to implement Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s proposals on exploring new ways.
