LSE: Debt Relief and Africa During COVID-19

by Eric Olander

Dr. Shirley Yu from LSE and the Harvard Kennedy School provided a robust articulation of the Chinese position on the issue – a perspective often lacking in other webinars on the topic.

  • Full access to the News Feed that provides daily updates on Chinese engagement in Africa and throughout the Global South.
