What can the world expect from upgrading China-Africa ties as the 2024 FOCAC summit opens?

For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video China has pledged to fund 360 billion yuan or $51 billion to support the development of Africa with more infrastructure projects and the creation of one million jobs. Speaking at the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing, President Xi Jinping proposed that China's diplomatic ties with all African countries be upgraded to the level of "strategic relations" and the overall positioning of China-Africa relations be elevated to "an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era." As ties between China and Africa become stronger, what can we expect from future cooperation? What are the challenges to achieving the goals in China-Africa cooperation? And with one-third of the world's population, how can the modernization drive by the two sides impact global development? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Professor Deng Yanting, deputy director of the division of peace and security studies at the China-Africa Institute; Bo Bangyuan, China chief representative of the Afriland First Bank; Lauren A. Johnston, PhD, associate professor at the University of Sydney; and Astrid R.N. Haas, independent urban economist. #FOCAC2024 #chinaafrica #chinadiplomacy Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gA Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv
