After many years during which it was primarily concerned with security issues in Africa, the United States is now taking a more practical and humble approach to the continent, Chinese development experts said.

The US is instead focusing on infrastructure projects and trade relations, which have long been at the heart of the China-Africa relationship.

This strategy is in line with the US' stated goal in recent years of "catching up with China and winning in Africa", a move that aims to counter China's growing economic and political influence around the continent.

The US, along with Sweden, the World Bank and private sources, have brought funding for Obama's "Power Africa" energy initiative to $26 billion, a sign of the participants' ambition to take a bigger stake in Africa's infrastructure market.

China has become Africa's top trading partner, with transactions rising from $10 billion in 2000 to $200 billion in 2013. When Premier Li Keqiang visited Africa earlier this year, he forecast that bilateral trade could hit $400 billion by 2020.
