’s On the Move Africa forum yesterday- very frank and open conversations from the Ambassadors/ High Commissioners of Ghana, Nigeria & Angola on self-sufficiency, AfCFTA and why the UK is Africa’s No.1 partner of choice.
The Commonwealth should invest in Africa’s manufacturing sector so that countries have the factories and industrial capacity they need to transform cotton into clothes, cobalt into smartphones, or iron ore into steel.

what is the G7 approach to debt relief right now? Can we reflect upon Latin America’s Brady Plan of the 1980s? Can donors coordinate together, or are their priorities too different? What is the role of Chinese debt in default?
As a resident of Southend and having just attended the CPC21, I am absolutely horrified by the stabbing and death of Sir David Amess. My family and I are deeply saddened.
