Africa’s moment has arrived. On Africa Day, we reflect on the continent’s remarkable journey since the founding of the Organization of African Unity in 1963—a bold step toward unity, decolonization, and development.
Today, the African Union (AU) stands as a symbol of Africa’s growing influence. With the AU now a member of the G20 and set to host the summit for the first time, Africa is taking its place on the world stage.
Deeper ties with the Chinese mainland through initiatives like the Belt and Road and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation are propelling the continent forward. These collaborations are fostering infrastructure growth, economic development, and cultural exchange.
Africa is not just rising; it’s becoming a driving force in global affairs. Its success is key to the future of the Global South and beyond, inspiring a new generation to continue the journey toward unity and prosperity.
