Africa welcomes the "generous offer" China is set to provide to members of the African Union (AU) to help bolster exports in the coming years, a senior official has said.
Wamkele Mene, the secretary-general of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), told Xinhua that Africa welcomes China's investments and trade partnership based on mutual benefits.
Mene mentioned China's efforts to build a green channel for African agricultural exports and expand zero-tariff treatment for products imported from Africa, to import products worth 300 billion U.S. dollars from Africa in the next three years.
Regarding the establishment of the China-Africa industrial park, Mene expressed hope that the park will expand the African market.
Mene said increasing African exports to China would benefit Africa's industrialization.
