FOCAC Beijing Summit 2018

The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was established in 2000 by China and African countries following proposals from Benin, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Mauritius. Since then FOCAC has been serving  as the main platform for collective consultation and dialogue on political, economic and socio-cultural cooperation between China and Africa. FOCAC ministerial meetings take place every three years. The ministerial meetings were elevated to summits with the participation of heads of state and government in the years 2006, 2015 and 2018.

The FOCAC Beijing Summit will be held on 3 and 4 September 2018.
