The Ethiopian SGR is already operational while phase one of the Kenyan SGR, Mombasa to Nairobi, is scheduled to be launched on June 1, he said.
Africa is expected to benefit from increased trade opportunities.
Over 100 countries and international development organizations like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund participated in the forum in Beijing.
This sharp increase in the number of countries participating in the initiative will open more opportunities for trade, availability of financial resources and technical capacities required for faster implementation of the related infrastructural projects, he said.
It is expected that the Beijing forum will lead to more of these resources for Africa, he said.
Africa is also expected to benefit considerably from China's pledged resources in the coming years. Other benefits are China's supported financing of anti-poverty and improved health care projects, he added.
As the forum concluded in Beijing on Monday, Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Stepan Kubiv, the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the BRF, said that Ukraine is willing to deepen all-round cooperation with China.
Ukraine and China enjoy vast opportunities for expanding their cooperation in such fields as aircraft construction, machine building, space and agriculture, Kubiv was quoted by his press service as saying during the meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Ma Kai in Beijing.
