Today, I hosted the 2026 China–Africa Think Tank Energy Forum, a high-level conference at Skylight Hotel, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Themed: “STRENGTHENING CHINA-AFRICA ENERGY DIPLOMACY IN A TURBULENT WORLD,” the annual forum is a partnership between the Africa Policy Institute (API) and the China National Petroleum Corporation – Economic & Technological Research Institute (CNPC-ETRI).
