African Development Bank seeks Japanese investment

The President of the African Development Bank, Donald Kaberuka, has called for more yen investment from Japanese companies into the world's poorest continent.

During his five-day visit to Japan, he's told journalists in Tokyo that the economy of Africa is expected to grow more than 5 percent this year.

Donald Kaberuka, President of the African Development Bank, said, "I'm not here to look for aid. Because I know each time an African leader is visiting a foreign country, people conclude immediately that he's there to look for aid. I'm here to look for investment, and to look for partnership."
