China has participated actively in Angola's post-war reconstruction and played a major role in building and repairing the country's poor infrastructure, including highways, railways, power plants and harbors.

In 2013, trade between the two countries reached 36 billion U.S. dollars. By the end of 2013, China's accumulative investment in Angola had exceeded eight billion dollars. Angola has become China's second largest trading partner in Africa.

Basilio Cassomo, an economic adviser to the Angolan president, said in an interview with Xinhua that Angola appreciates China's contribution to the reconstruction of his country.

Angola is currently trying to diversify its oil-dependent economy, and Li's visit will usher in a new era in bilateral cooperation and inject new vigor and vitality into the two countries' strategic partnership, he said.

Angola is the third leg of Li's four-nation Africa tour, which has already taken him to Ethiopia and Nigeria. He will then travel to Kenya.
