increasingly based on trade and investment, and trade is based on more than just
commodities, the relationship is likely to expand, along with economic growth in China and
Africa. Economic relations are increasingly dominated by commercial ties rather than by aid

with new lending and investment in Africa. These issues need to be addressed based on
shared information, collaboration, and coordination between host country authorities and
their development partners.
