Xi Jinping flies to Tanzania to start African tour

China’s new President Xi Jinping was due in Tanzania on Sunday at the start of a three-nation Africa tour that underscores Beijing’s growing presence in the resource-rich continent.

Xi will visit Tanzania’s economic capital Dar es Salaam, where he is set to give a keynote speech on relations with Africa, before heading to Durban, South Africa, on Monday to join a emerging economies summit.

He wraps up the African tour, part of his first overseas trip which started in Russia, with a visit to the Republic of Congo.
