China will exempt some African countries from repaying zero-interest rate loans due at the end of 2020, state television reported on Wednesday, quoting President Xi Jinping’s speech at a summit.

Under the framework of the China-Africa cooperation forum, China will further extend loan payment forbearance for some countries including African countries, President Xi told the China-Africa summit.

China is willing to give priority to African countries once Covid-19 vaccines are ready to use, he  added.
