Beijing is buzzing as leaders from Botswana, Cape Verde, and Egypt touch down for the 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit, starting Wednesday! 🎉 President Mokgweetsi Masisi of Botswana, Cape Verde’s Prime Minister Ulisses Correia e Silva, and Egypt’s PM Mostafa Madbouly are set to discuss partnerships in trade, tech, and sustainability with Chinese officials. This triennial event has become a major driver of Africa’s infrastructure boom and green energy shift ⚡️🌱.
FOCAC, launched in 2000, has funded everything from Kenya’s railways to Senegal’s solar farms. This year’s theme—\"Digital Africa meets Green Growth\"—hints at AI collaborations and climate-resilient projects. With China investing $60B in Africa since 2018, all eyes are on new deals this week 💼. \"When Africa and China team up, it’s like the ultimate collab—everyone wins,\" said a Nairobi-based analyst.
