UK expert hails FOCAC action plans

China Daily  

An expert in the United Kingdom specializing in China-Africa relations has praised the series of partnership actions announced at the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing, saying the event showcased the depth and breadth of bilateral ties. "FOCAC remains the most prominent platform for China-Africa cooperation, especially in terms of its scale and longevity," said Linda Calabrese, a senior research fellow at the Overseas Development Institute, a global affairs think tank headquartered in London. "The first thing to note about the speech is the financial pledges that were made to support Africa," Calabrese said, referring to the 360 billion yuan of financial support promised for implementing the actions. "It reaffirms China's ongoing support for Africa's development aspirations, even amid global economic challenges." Additionally, Calabrese found it particularly "encouraging" to see China backing the development of the African Continental Free Trade Area, a project that aims to create a single market for goods and services across the continent and other related infrastructure needs.
