China's $60 bln Africa pledge not threatened by slowdown: ambassador

By Aaron Maasho ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - China's economic slowdown will not threaten its plans to plough $60 billion into African development projects, Beijing's ambassador to Ethiopia said. Africa could even benefit as Chinese companies looked for investments while their own economy adjusts, Li Yifan told Reuters. China's economy grew 6.9 percent in 2015, its slowest pace in a quarter of a century.
