Saraki Joins Leaders in Italy to Discuss Global Partnerships Without the US
Former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, at the weekend, joined an ongoing international experts workshop of world leaders in Lake Como, Italy, for three days of high-powered deliberations on the future of global partnerships following the gradual withdrawal of the United States of America and its implications for various regions.
The gathering organised by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), the foundation named after a former German Chancellor, has as its central theme: ‘Big Daddy Gone? Global Partnerships Without U.S. Leadership’.
In a discussion that will begin on Monday June 29 and end on July 1, Saraki will address the gathering as part of the fifth panel on Tuesday afternoon and he will present the African perspective on ‘Development Policies: Withdrawal of the United States from International Development – Opportunities and Challenges’.
While there are two Africans among the 22 participants, Saraki has been selected to present the African perspective based on his experience in the private and public sectors, as well as his engagements during his tenure as Nigeria’s President of the Senate, Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, and Governor of Kwara State.
