As Africa's economic and geopolitical weight continues to rise, experts are increasingly highlighting the potential for a new Africa-China-Canada partnership that could reshape cooperation on critical minerals, infrastructure, climate action and global governance.
Speaking at a webinar on Africa-China-Canada policy dialogue last week, analysts said Africa's industrialization drive, coupled with shifting global power dynamics, is creating opportunities for a new form of collaboration that moves beyond traditional aid relationships and geopolitical competition.
Ovigwe Eguegu, an international security analyst at Development Reimagined, an African-led international development consultancy, said African countries are seeking to move from being a peripheral extractive zone to achieving industrial upgrading through resource beneficiation.
