Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Japan will extend $30 billion in funding to aid African development. This is the major outcome of the eighth Tokyo International Conference on African Development, which took place in Tunisia this weekend. <\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking virtually, Japan\u2019s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledged funding across several cooperation initiatives.<\/p>\n

These include $4 billion for green growth and decarbonization and a $5 billion loan to the African Development Bank to support fiscal stability, with a special $1 billion loan for debt management.<\/p>\n

Highlights from TICAD8<\/b><\/p>\n

SUB-TWEETING CHINA: Kishida didn\u2019t mention China by name but framed Japan\u2019s engagement in geopolitical terms: \u201cWe must maintain and strengthen the rule-based, free, and open international order. The rule-based, free, and open international order. We will strengthen coordination at various levels between Africa and Japan to promote a \u201cFree and Open Indo-Pacific.\u2019 \u201d Both in its oblique approach and in the language used, this seems to echo the United States\u2019s recent stance on Africa-China relations.<\/p>\n

BLASTING RUSSIA: In contrast to the indirect language on China, Russia\u2019s \u2018ongoing aggression\u2019 against Ukraine was explicitly blamed for growing food insecurity in Africa and provided the frame for enhanced cooperation on food and agriculture: \u201cJapan has recently decided to make a contribution of around US$130 million in food assistance to African countries. In addition, Japan will provide US$300 million to bolster food production through co-financing with the African Development Bank and assist with capacity building for 200,000 people in the agriculture sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

MOVING IN ON FOCAC TARGETS: TICAD8 continued Japan\u2019s subtle co-opting of China\u2019s engagement with Africa through its Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) by setting additional targets for training, people-to-people exchange and health cooperation: \u201cOver the next three years, we will work to cultivate more than 300,000 professionals in a wide range of fields that include industry, health, medicine, education, agriculture, justice, and administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

TICAD unexpectedly dragged Japan into North African politics. Its co-host Tunisia\u2019s seeming anti-democratic turn complicated Japan\u2019s position. Tunisia\u2019s decision to invite a separatist Western Saharan group also led to Morocco boycotting the event.<\/p>\n
