Abstract: | In aggregate terms the process of geographical diversification of the African imports has brought about in the post-colonial period a replacement of suppliers from the developed capitalist countries by the socialist countries. Expansion of the import trade with the C.M.E.A. countries has been accompanied by a growing technical and credit assistance on part of the latter. The trends in trade typical for the last fifteen years point to a very important direction both for the present and for future development of a structural transformation of the African foreign trade. However, numerous difficulties of economic, commercial and political nature still hamper a more intensive development of cooperation among the African countries and the centrally planned economies. Sections: Major directions of the African exports and imports - Specific features of cooperation with the socialist countries - Development trends in trade among the two regions - Structural aspects of the African trade with Eastern Europe.
