China has established the China-Africa Development Fund with a corpus amount of one billion US dollars to help promote the communist country's investments and businesses in the huge African continent.
The setting up of the fund was approved by the State Council, the Chinese cabinet, vice governor of China Development Bank (CDB), Gao Jian said.
