forum on china-africa co-operation

To get a feel for the melting pot that is Johannesburg and the ever-vibrant Soweto, journalists from China, Africa and South Africa took a tour of the city and its huge neighbour ahead of the FOCAC summit. It will culminate in a meeting between the South African and Chinese heads of state.

This year is the 15th anniversary of the Forum on China-Africa Co-operation. It is expected to serve as a cornerstone for continued improved relations. It is also the first time it is being held in Africa, with Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Jacob Zuma co-chairing the meeting.
