According to the Vision Document many fields of collaboration were laid out. Digital connectivity will also support the growth of innovative technology and services between Asia and Africa. There is scope for Asia to share its experiences of growth and development with Africa. There are five main aspects. These are: (a) effective mobilization of financial resources; (b) their alignment with socio-economic development and development strategies of partner countries and regions; (c) application of high-quality standards in terms of compliance with international standards established to mitigate environmental and social impact; (d) provision of quality of infrastructure taking into account aspects of economic efficiency and durability, inclusiveness, safety and disaster-resilience, sustainability as well as convenience and amenities; and (e) contribution to the local society and economy.<ref name="Economic Times 2017-05-26">{{Cite news |author=Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury |date=26 May 2017 |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/india-japan-come-up-with-aagc-to-counter-chinas-obor/articleshow/58846673.cms |title=India, Japan come up with AAGC to counter China's OBOR |work=[[The Economic Times]] |access-date=2017-05-28}}</ref>
