This is amazing!

These classrooms in Ivory Coast are made out of 100 percent plastic waste.

Amazing bravery from Caixin and all the other journalists who have headed into a sealed off city to report on this crisis and tragedy. Respect to you and hoping you all stay safe and healthy https://t.co/EonDmSnLxS

This is the kind of stuff African governments love to hear. Whether the investment is in sectors with the capacity to create jobs, value and growth is inconsequential. These transactions almost always reinforce existing patterns.

Great insights from @hmryder on he #UKAfricasummit and lessons from China's own Africa summits https://t.co/SHudOgqecW

Boom. So much anti-hydro sentiment neglects the bigger picture and the realities. https://t.co/6WxlLCIeRu

This is excellent news!

I have long argued a world class trade policy is not just about exporting or inward FDI, it is also about outward FDI and access to high quality, reliable & sustainable imports.

Promoting (African) imports is win-win for UK consumers and African exports https://t.co/PQKIJGIq4l

Today, the #UKAfricaInvestmentSummit is taking place, bringing 15 African Heads of State to London to help shape the #UK's future strategy with #Africa. Here's what our CEO @hmryder suggests should be in that strategy - based on lessons learnt from #China

"The UK should use the summit to ask African leaders 'What can we do?' Too often the question is the other way around: telling Africans what to do."

@hmryder on what the UK can learn from China about running the #UKAfricaInvestmentSummit. https://t.co/MeYLpH142n

In 20 years’ time, more than one in four of the world’s people will be African. The best way of serving Britain’s — as well as Africa’s — interests is to ensure a healthy trade & investment relationship that helps African economies thrive. #InvestInAfrica https://t.co/KDUtkCeErf

"Last but not least, the third lesson from China is to actively use the summits to ask African leaders a very specific question: 'What can we do?'. Too often, and especially where the UK is concerned - the question is the other way around:" @hmryder https://t.co/ouC2LKUPuk

"The UK’s aid, trade and investment patterns still reflect an old picture of Africa that remains rooted in a colonial and paternalistic mindset," @hmryder on what needs to change for #UKAfricaInvestmentSummit

And by nice chance I saw this article straight after tweeting about the UK needing to show humility... https://t.co/JEL8PBIZqC

@hmryder @marcusryder Thank you for this Hannah and Marcus. And of course, the irony, and perhaps mindset... As one partner leaves a union, others form one (AfCFTA). Interesting times ahead.

An absolutely brilliant piece by @hmryder on what the UK can learn from China when it comes to hosting Africa summits. If you care about Africa development and/or if you care about UK trade deals post Brexit this is a must read. (She is my wife but I stan) https://t.co/00ATfyavG3
