“The future of the world is largely played out in Africa. “

And reiterate its determination to place the African continent at the heart of French diplomacy.

” Africa is not only the continent of migrations and crises, it is a continent of the future. That is why we can not leave him alone to face his demographic, climatic and political challenges, “the French president said. Before announcing: “I will soon go to Ouagadougou to carry this message”.
“It will not be a new think tank or an African fan club of the President of the Republic ” but a body in charge of advising the head of state and bringing back proposals, the Elysee said.

Among these dozens of volunteers are Franco-Benin footballer Jean-Marc Adjovi-Boco, Kenyan researcher Yvonne Mburu, French lawyer Yves-Justice Djimi and Jules-Armand Aniambossou, ambassador of Benin in France and ex -campoon of promotion of Emmanuel Macron to the ENA and also an entrepreneur of Senegalese origin born in France Karim Sy.
