At a time when some parts of the world seem to be looking inward, dozens of leaders meet in Nairobi this weekend to build bridges for development under the TICAD VI Summit and conference.
These leaders are inspired by the belief that by working together, human beings can achieve transformative impact in every corner of the world. The TICAD meeting is a pivotal moment for Africa and Japan to pursue their shared ideals of development. Being the first on African soil, this meeting underlines the importance of African ownership and participation in Japan-Africa partnership.
