Williams stated that the strong commitment of the Chinese government should "present a strong opportunity for people at grassroots to really benefit, for their conditions to be changed."
"What we have to look for is the substance of how implementation occurs, particularly who directly will benefit," he said.
His reaction flows from an assessment of the far-reaching initiatives, reaching across the spectrum which the Chinese leader stated will be focused on industrial promotion, infrastructure connectivity, trade facilitation, professional skills transfer, training and green development, among others.
As part of these initiatives, China will carry out 50 agricultural assistance programs and provide emergency humanitarian food aid amounting to 1 billion yuan (147 million U.S. dollars) to African countries affected by natural disasters and that this will be complemented by 500 senior agricultural experts who will be sent to Africa.
The sheer depth of the commitment to partnership and solidarity with Africa's development calls for the instrument to break the logjam that has held the continent developmentally hostage, Williams said.
"What emerges from FOCAC is a clear and unambiguous declaration from China that it sees its very future as intertwined with that of Africa and that it is prepared to utilize both its vast reservoir of technological expertise and its standing as the second most powerful economy in the world to facilitate growth and development in Africa," stated author and development analyst Ruben Richards.
