LIVE | China-Africa Summit: Xi Jinping Promises 1 Mn Jobs, Fresh Funding | Firstpost Africa

Welcome to Firstpost Africa with Alyson Le Grange.
We are live from Durban, South Africa.

China's President Xi Jinping is hosting leaders of over 50 countries in Beijing. The Chinese President opened the ninth Forum of China and Africa Cooperation promising $51 billion in fresh funding and at least a million jobs for Africa. China also announced 30 infrastructure projects to boost connectivity across the continent. The summit could see tough talks ahead as China and African nations could see differences over levels of trade and investment. While China aims to move away from big-ticket infrastructure projects, Africa is looking for quicker financing solutions to its growing debt crisis. Will China and Africa's aims align?
