a year before it officially exits the e.u. customs union and single market british prime minister boris johnson determined to strike new deals in the world's most rapidly expanding continent more than half the world's fastest 15 fastest growing economies are enough for 2 thirds of africa african economies are expanding faster than the global average africa is the future and the u.k. has a huge an active role to play in that future but the u.k. is far from the only country vying for business its annual trading relationship with africa amounts to some $46000000000.00 compare that to china's 280000000000 and you get an idea of just has stiff competition is one way britain is hoping to embrace yes itself is with immigration reform johnson's promise to make it easier

got trees like russia who were bought 43 india it was 40 the united kingdom is only a palm tree 16 heads of state of being able to attend that should send a message of the kind of trade partnership that the african continent is looking to heart with the rest of the world and what is africa exactly looking for when partnering with foreign investors. so how far can countries have. shared and said they do not think the united kingdom who is now a global investment power the likes of the way that we're not even invited to the u.k. africa summit now are focusing their attention on the east for countries like china and india to tread partnerships as opposed to the united kingdom so in a way i think it is changing and i did speak to some of the 2 economists earlier today who said the tide has changed and if the united kingdom has strong

partnerships with some african countries the need to strengthen even so they don't have to lose the little partnership that they have at the moment now the british prime minister wants to attract highly skilled africans to britain people before passports i am africans actually interested in going there. yes i think we have seen not and i'm thinking the reality is that many africans have left the continent and continue to live the continent in search of greener pastures we have seen many africans point through the mediterranean sea trying to look for greener pastures outside of the continent and this is going to continue for many years until our bigger out how much of employment the can create for young africans right here on the continent are right to join her in barrow there
