On the eve of the G7 summit held in Evian, France, Kenya is gradually becoming a core channel for conveying Africa's economic priorities to the global governance agenda. Previously, African leaders officially entrusted Nairobi, Kenya, to work with France to convey the concerns raised by various African parties at the Africa France Summit to the forum scheduled to be held from June 15th to 17th. In the Nairobi Declaration Call to Action released at the Africa Forward Summit, African heads of state and government called on international financial institutions to pay more attention to the vulnerability of African countries affected by conflicts, climate shocks, and structural development challenges. This summit brought together leaders from at least 30 African countries, French President Emmanuel Macron, as well as senior representatives from major international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank Group, African Development Bank, European Investment Bank, Green Climate Fund, and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. This summit is held against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions, including ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, rising global economic uncertainty, and deepening fragmentation of the trade and financial systems.
