Interview with Emmanuel Macron at Africa Forward Summit

​

At the conclusion of the Africa Forward Summit, French President Emmanuel Macron will answer questions from journalists from France 24, RFI, and TV5Monde in Nairobi. The interview will be broadcast on Tuesday, May 12, at 9:00 PM Paris time.

Around thirty African heads of state and government, along with more than 3,000 delegates, are gathering in Nairobi on May 11 and 12 at the invitation of France and Kenya for the Africa Forward Summit.

With one year remaining in Emmanuel Macron’s second presidential term, what assessment can be made of his Africa policy — and what legacy will he leave to his successor?

Has he achieved the strategic repositioning of France in Africa that he called for? What new forms of cooperation have emerged? How have France’s relations with African states evolved? And what challenges lie ahead?

The President of the Republic will be interviewed by Stéphane Ballong (France 24), Mounia Daoudi (RFI), and Nidhya Paliakara (TV5Monde).

This exclusive interview, recorded on Tuesday, May 12, at the close of the Africa Forward Summit, will air at 9:00 PM Paris time on all four France 24 channels — in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish — as well as on RFI in French and on TV5Monde. The interview will also be adapted for RFI’s language services, including its four African-language broadcasts: Swahili, Hausa, Mandenkan, and Fulfulde.
