China's top legislator Zhang Dejiang paid an official goodwill visit to Zambia on March 18-22 and the two countries agreed to enhance bilateral ties in various fields.

The 10-day Africa tour will also take Zhang, chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress, to Rwanda and Kenya, and is aimed at pushing forward the implementation of the outcomes of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit held in South Africa's Johannesburg in December 2015.

From railways to theaters, China has made major contributions in aid to countries throughout Africa, especially in the infrastructure sector. Take a closer look at the major projects:

1. Ghana National Theater
