During the fifth China-Africa Future Leaders' Dialogue, Somali Ambassador Hodan Osman Abdi shared inspiring insights on the boundless opportunities in China-Africa cooperation. She emphasized that with the right infrastructure—as seen in bridges and ports built over the past three decades—the movement of people, commodities, and ideas can drive development and reduce poverty across the continent.
In an engaging chat with CGTN's Pablo Chen, the ambassador highlighted technical and vocational education as a powerhouse for skill transfer. She explained that just like the bustling tech hubs in cities such as Bangalore or Jakarta, strategic investments in education and infrastructure can empower communities and fuel innovation. 🚀
This dialogue not only celebrated past achievements but also set the stage for a future where collaborative efforts in education and infrastructure unlock even greater progress. It’s a vibrant reminder that smart investments and visionary partnerships can power lasting change.
