"With the development of African nations, the BRI set a new path for a higher level of China-Africa cooperation that will help increase foreign investment, expand trade, ultimately reduce poverty, and in turn, reshape Sino-African cooperation by supporting connectivity in and between economies on the continent of Africa," Omoruyi said.
