The Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) — which includes 49 African countries — will launch clean-energy projects, agricultural initiatives and training programmes.

In other news there are 49 countries in Africa?  Yesterday we learnt that Canada has 250 cities!  I wonder what we will learn on PC-Pals tomorrow?    :hee-hee:

That's a well publicised fact Rik.  Porridge and berries.   ;D

You should try porridge and beans, it has twice the effect. ;)

I only visit them at blackberry time.  And not that mobile phone thingy android app whatever you keep talking about.  If phones were meant to be mobile they'd have wheels!
