Xi Jinping promises to strengthen economic ties as he embarks on a four-nation tour of Africa.
China has had a strong presence in Africa for years. Beijing has built countless roads, buildings and provided economic support right across the African continent.
Now, it looks set to conquer even more markets, as a result of US President Donald Trump’s new trade tariffs.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is on a four-nation tour of Africa with stops in Senegal, Rwanda, South Africa and Mauritius.
The visit to Senegal was Xi’s first trip to West Africa as a leader.
At a joint news conference with Senegalese President Macky Sall, he said Africa was China’s”‘natural ally” and announced several new deals.
