The G20 summit is just a couple of days away, and world leaders are starting to arrive in eastern China's Hangzhou city. Senegal's president Macky Sall and Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev are the first to get there.

Before taking off for China, Sall said he wanted to take this G20 Summit as an opportunity to call for more foreign investments into Africa. He says the African Union's vision of building up an innovative and intra-connected Africa fits the themes of the Summit.

Nazarbayev is paying a working visit until the 5th, and also attending the G20 Summit as head of state of a guest country. Nazarbayev will hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other world leaders, and his agenda includes environmental protection, railways and agriculture issues. Kazakhstan is hoping this summit will help develop a roadmap for overcoming world economic problems.
