Hu says African visit produces new consensus

Chinese President Hu Jintao on Sunday said he reached new consensus with African leaders during his ongoing visit to the continent.

"During my African visit, I had in-depth discussions with leaders of related countries on bilateral relations and issues of common concern, and we reached a number of new and important consensus," Hu said while giving an interview to Tanzanian State Television and Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV.

This is the president's sixth visit to Africa and his second since the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2006.

The four-country African tour has taken Hu to Mali and Senegal. After his stay in Tanzania, Hu will travel on to Mauritius before flying back home on Tuesday.
