Q: The UK hosted the UK-Africa Investment Summit in January 2020 in London, with 15 heads of state attending. What were the key achievements of the summit?
A: I think the event created a very strong foundation for us to build upon in the future. The UK is a key trading and investment partner for African countries: UK-Africa trade jumped by 7.5% [in 2019] to £36bn [$45.15bn]. UK investment stock in Africa reached £38bn in 2018, representing a 13.8% increase on the previous year.
