Summary/Abstract: The paper tries to analyze and assess the cooperation between Africa and its partners in emerging markets. This relationship is no longer limited to trade alone but extended by two other important vector changes: direct investment and development aid. This new fellowship with the great emerging countries is good for Africa, but it is also a carrier of the risks such as, increased dependence on raw materials and the degradation of government and a new cycle of excessive debt. The development of favourable relations for two sides will be difficult, especially for those African countries that are less equipped.
