Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki attends the inauguration of a high-rise African Union, AU, headquarters in the Ethiopian capital, built and donated by China at a cost of 200 million USD in Addis Ababa on January 28, 2012. The building, which towers above the Ethiopian capital, was opened ahead of the start Sunday of the pan-African body's 18th ordinary summit, a bold symbol of China's rapidly changing role in Africa. Construction was wholly funded by the Chinese government, with even the furnishings paid for by the Asian powerhouse, and most of the construction material was imported from China.
