Former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has joined global leaders and policy experts at an international workshop in Lake Como, Italy, to discuss the future of global partnerships amid concerns over the United States’ changing role in international development and diplomacy.
The three-day workshop, organised by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, is themed “Big Daddy Gone? Global Partnerships Without U.S. Leadership.”
The workshop is scheduled from June 29 to July 1.
A statement issued on Sunday by the Head of the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Media Office, Yusuph Olaniyonu, said the gathering would examine the implications of a gradual reduction in United States engagement in global partnerships and explore emerging opportunities for other regions.
Saraki is expected to present the African perspective during the fifth panel of the workshop on Tuesday, where he will speak on “Development Policies: Withdrawal of the United States from International Development – Opportunities and Challenges.”
