In 2004 Angola’s Ministry of Finance and China’s Ministry of Trade signed the first of several financing packages for public investment projects in Angola. These packages provided for oil-backed concessional loans from Chinese banks. This brief takes stock of the achievements after six years. What is the nature of the partnership between the Angola and China? Is a strategic partnership being built around shared goals? Or are we witnessing an uneasy marriage of convenience?
