Africa-Americas Forum on China

We are proud to have hosted the second annual Africa-Americas Forum on China. This is a unique gathering where experts from both regions engage in open, transparent, nuanced, and constructive discussions about Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean's relations with China. Last year, in partnership with FLACSO Argentina, the University of Witwatersrand South Africa, the Social Science Research Council, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and the Atlantic Council Global China Hub, we hosted a successful two-day forum in Miami, Florida. Experts from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean shared best practices for fostering robust and healthy relationships with China.
This year's forum theme is "Transregionalism," where we seek to develop new frameworks and methodologies on how to study China's engagement across regions. 

Panels included:

1️⃣ Methodologies/Frameworks for Transregionalism
2️⃣ Dealing with Debt
3️⃣ Secure Supply Chains and Critical Minerals
4️⃣ Climate and Environment
5️⃣ Security and Law Enforcement
6️⃣ Emerging Technology (Space, AI, Telecommunications)
7️⃣ Disinformation and Media Engagement
