The Summit, with the participation of heads of state and government from 24 African countries, aims to promote trade and investment in both directions, promote employment and economic growth and support women entrepreneurs, according to a statement from the government of UK.
The event will also strengthen UK-Africa partnerships, aiming to support British and African talent in sectors such as finance and technology.
"This summit will ensure that we can harness the potential of our relationships across Africa and develop our economies in partnership, making them stronger, more resilient and more innovative," said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently.
The first edition, held in 2020, "served as a significant turning point in the UK's relations with African nations", says the UK Government, which highlights the fact that in the next two years Sub-Saharan Africa will register economic growth faster than the global average.
He also praised Africa's enormous potential for future renewable energy sources.
