China is among Senegal's most important partners, Senegalese Ambassador to China Mamadou Ndiaye said, expressing his expectation that President Xi Jinping's visit to his country will further strengthen the already "excellent" bilateral ties.
Cooperation between the two countries is diversified, covering sectors including infrastructure, energy, healthcare and education, Ndiaye told China Daily. China is assisting Senegal's development by taking part in projects in the West African country, he said.
An example is the construction of a 115-kilometer highway from Thies to Touba. In 2015, China and Senegal signed an agreement providing financing for the project from the Export-Import Bank of China.
