As global eyes turn to the upcoming 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit, a major media event in Beijing is setting the stage for cross-continental teamwork. Over 200 leaders from international organizations, media giants, and think tanks across China and 20+ African nations gathered Saturday for 'A Civilization Symphony and a Digital Dream-Builder: African Partners'—a CMG-hosted exchange sparking fresh dialogue.
Why This Matters 
With African leaders like Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Seychelles' Wavel Ramkalawan cheering via video messages, the focus is clear: bridging cultures and boosting digital innovation. President Museveni called it a 'win-win for storytelling in the TikTok era,' while CMG officials pledged to co-create content that 'vibes with Gen-Z audiences.'
What's Next? 
Expect joint documentaries, tech workshops, and youth-led media projects rolling out before FOCAC 2024. As one organizer said: 'When China and Africa sync their hashtags, the world listens.'
