The 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit is currently underway in Beijing from September 4th to 6th. Themed "Joining Hands to Advance Modernization and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future," leaders from China and Africa are meeting to strengthen their bonds and outline collaborative initiatives.
This gathering marks a significant occasion in the ongoing partnership between China and Africa, continuing a tradition of important summits previously held in Beijing in 2006, Johannesburg in 2015, and Beijing again in 2018.
