Honoured to meet Ms. Cui Yin, Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Botswana, for a courtesy visit. We discussed diplomacy, development, and women’s empowerment. I received publications on governance and democracy while reflecting on 50+ years of Botswana–China relations. 🇧🇼🇨🇳

@Katso_lizarene @unwomenafrica Diplomacy can be used as a tool to influence development towards a better Botswana for all

[Women Lead Africa @WLA_BW]

Africa's institutions must not only speak about young people, they must also make space to hear from them.
We would love to hear your thoughts. The discussion will focus on what the mechanism should look like, what mandate it should carry, and whose voices it must center.

Botswana's economy contracted two years in a row for the first time in a generation not because of a bad year, but because of a structural model running out of road.
