In this compelling conversation recorded live at The Age of Africa Annual Symposium, we challenge one-dimensional “crisis” narratives and explore how Canada can adopt a balanced, future-oriented approach to its engagement with Africa. Our panel examines how historical, cultural, and political perceptions influence economic risk assessments and foreign policy strategies. By reframing the dialogue around trade, entrepreneurship, and multidimensional partnerships, we uncover new pathways to harness Africa’s evolving influence on the global stage.
