SHANGHAI, May 15 (Xinhua) -- Rwandan President Paul Kagame arrived in
Shanghai on Tuesday to continue his state visit in China and attend the annual
board meetings of the African Development Bank (ADB) Group.
He was the third head of state to come here for the ADB meetings, following President
of Cape Verde Pedro Pires and President of Madagascar Marc Ravalomanana.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao will meet with Kagame later Tuesday, who will
attend the opening ceremony of the ADB board meetings on Wednesday.
The upcoming ADB meetings are another significant Africa-related event
hosted by China, following the Beijing Summit of the China-Africa Cooperation
Forum held in November 2006.
This is Kagame's first state visit in China since he took office as Rwandan
President. During his stay in Beijing, President Hu Jintao held talks with
Kagame.
He will fly to Shenzhen, a booming city in south China's Guangdong Province
that borders Hong Kong, later Wednesday.
