US President Joe Biden to reinforce Africa interests at upcoming summit in face of China's challenge

The leaders will gather at the US-Africa Leaders Summit held in Washington DC from Dec 13 to Dec 15, where President Biden will underscore the US’ commitment to Africa and the cooperation on shared global priorities.

China is also Africa’s biggest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching a record high of US$254 billion last year. The US paled in contrast in this aspect, recording US$64 billion.Mr Mvemba Phezo Dizolele, director and senior fellow of the Africa Program at the think-tank Center for Strategic and International Studies, said: “The US should be able to compete with China on loans, for instance. It should not only be the purview of China.

In contrast, at the US-Africa Leaders Summit this week, there are still no one-on-one meetings scheduled between any of the African leaders and President Biden.The White House has said that each delegation will have extensive opportunities for high-level engagement. The strategy acknowledges that Africa is likely to be home to a quarter of humanity by 2050, with a younger workforce than the rest of the world, and aims to build a new economic, political and democratic partnership with the continent, addressing issues such as climate change, food insecurity and terrorism.

Hahaha , Every 4 years different policy , headache

This old fart is filled with rage and jealousy

Most AfricanNations has been colonized , ignored and neglected , too late Joe . They trust China than the white people , just ask them .
