The aim is to renew partnerships, promote youth and economic initiatives, and strengthen cooperation after France’s setbacks in the Sahel. He will attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg (November 22-23), the first held on African soil. French companies will support economic and infrastructure projects, notably in Gabon and Mauritius.
