Opportunities should be shared by all, says Chinese researcher

China will collaborate with global partners to further benefit Africa while ensuring the fruits of its development can be shared by the world, said a senior Chinese researcher.

Wei Jianguo, deputy director of the think tank China Center for International Economic Exchanges and former vice-minister of commerce, told China Daily that investors in Africa play a complementary role and that there is enough space for multilateral cooperation. He was referring to investors such as Europe, the United States, Japan and emerging economies.
