Scholz argued, “Africa is our partner of choice when it comes to strengthening our economic relations and moving together towards a zero-emission future.”

Meanwhile, the President of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki confirmed that the continent is open to various partnerships, including those established with various companies in China for the use of renewable energy sources.

Managed by the German Executive, the fifth edition of the Africa Compact Summit responds to an initiative that emerged in 2017, which includes States such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Democratic Republic of Congo, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo and Tunisia.
