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.
