premise: The study finds that existing Chinese and Indian investment in Africa is concentrated on raw materials, notably in the mining and oil sectors.
  However, the two Asian countries "are fast diversifying outside the natural resources sector into the apparel, food processing, retail, fisheries, commercial real estate, labor- intensive light manufacturing and the services sector in ways that could help Africa move away from over-reliance on a few export commodities which has left the continent so vulnerable to economic shocks," said the report.
  China and India's foreign direct investments in Africa, although more modest than trade flows, are also growing very rapidly, the "Silk Road" study reveals, drawing parallels with the Silk Road used by traders from 100 B.C.
  "This new Silk Road presents a significant, and to date, rare opportunity to accelerate Africa's growth, expand intra-African trade and hasten the continent's integration into the global economy," said Harry Broadman, World Bank's economic advisor in the African region and the author of the study
  The study finds that in both Africa and Asia there are strong complementary relationships between foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade.
   If China and India continue diversifying their investments in Africa, what could be expected to happen?
