Paris – France is bringing together French and African business and political leaders in Nairobi, Kenya, on Monday at the Africa Forward summit – the first time it has staged such an event in an English-speaking country.
The two-day event "illustrates the desire to diversify [France's] alliances, in light of the recent diplomatic crises in the Sahel, by forging closer ties with East African economies," according to the Élysée.
