China has announced $60bn (£40bn) of assistance and loans for Africa to help with the development of the continent.
President Xi Jinping said the package would include zero-interest loans as well as scholarships and training for thousands of Africans.
The Chinese leader made the announcement at a major summit between China and Africa in Johannesburg.
The momentum of rapid growth in Africa was “unstoppable”, Mr Xi told more than 35 African heads of state.
