The 7th summit of FOCAC is scheduled to take place in Beijing on 3-4 September 2018.
It brings together China and the 53 African countries with which it has diplomatic relations and the African Union.
Based on previous summits, China will probably pledge even higher contributions to African countries this year. These have already increased massively from US$5 billion in 2006 to US$60 billion spread into various funds and contributions in 2015.
During the FOCAC summit, China will make official pledges of financial and technical assistance to the manufacturing sector. It may also announce manufacturing investment deals, especially at the bilateral level, on the side.
