In a collaborative effort aimed at fostering deeper ties between China and Africa, CMG Africa and the Africa Policy Institute organized a joint seminar on Monday in Nairobi, Kenya. The seminar, held under the theme ‘Enhancing China-Africa Cooperation in New Quality Productive Forces to Realize High-Quality Growth’, gathered experts to deliberate on recent developments in China and their potential implications for Africa and the global landscape in 2024.
Against the backdrop of the forthcoming Two Sessions in March and the 9th FOCAC Summit scheduled later this year in Beijing, the discussions were timely and pertinent. Participants engaged in comprehensive dialogues covering various aspects of cooperation between China and Africa, focusing on building inclusive, green, and low-carbon economies. They also delved into fostering new productive forces to propel the rapid advancement of emerging industries, formats, and models.
Trade and investment were key areas of consideration, with participants exploring strategies to enhance economic collaboration between the two regions. Moreover, the seminar aimed to contribute to global peace and harmony by examining avenues for mutual cooperation in addressing shared challenges and promoting sustainable development.
The event underscored the importance of strategic partnerships between China and Africa in navigating the complexities of the contemporary global landscape. As both regions continue to evolve, initiatives such as this seminar serve as catalysts for fostering mutual understanding, collaboration, and shared prosperity.
