Africa gives people the impression of vast grasslands, endless deserts, hot weather, a world of animals, and hardworking people. With the introduction of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative in 2013, cooperation between China and African countries in multiple fields has accelerated significantly, and the scope and depth of cooperation has never been unprecedented. With the help of Chinese companies, many projects, especially major projects, have been implemented.

　　The relationship between China and Ethiopia has a long history, and China attaches great importance to consolidating and developing China-Ethiopia comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. The Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway (the Ya-Djibouti Railway), which was built by Chinese companies and connected the capitals of Ethiopia and Djibouti, was officially opened to traffic on October 5, 2016. This is another transnational railway built by China in Africa after the Tanzania-Zambia Railway. It is known as the “Tanzania-Zambia Railway in the New Era”.

　　The Yaji Railway is the first electrified railway in East Africa. It is constructed using Chinese standards and Chinese equipment. It has a total length of 751.7 kilometers and a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour. It has 45 stations and a total investment of approximately US$4 billion. The construction of the railway construction organization is the first "going global" railway built by a Chinese enterprise overseas.

　　The Yaji Railway is a passenger-cargo railway with freight transportation as its main line. In the construction of the Yaji Railway, the railway T-beam formwork, segment assembly, and pier column formwork produced by Hebei Dongfeng Shijing Railway Group Corporation played an important role. The project party received the project’s approval from design and manufacturing, transportation and delivery, technical clarification, and guidance on assembly. Highly praised.
