Li also pledged support for small and medium-sized companies in Africa to help the continent’s industries reach “self-sustaining and resilient” growth.
“China and Africa enjoy great industrial complementarity,” he said in an address to entrepreneurs at a China-Africa cooperation conference in the Chinese capital.
