Japan sees Africa as next growth hub.

Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has described Africa as the next growth frontier. In a conference which ended in Tokyo on Monday, Mr. Abe reiterated Japan’s commitment to African progress, and said the relation would shift from aid to trade and investment. Japan has pledged commitment to help Africa fight
terrorism, and would train 2,000 special counter terror officers to be deployed in the Mali Sahel region. Japan has seen its involvement in Africa eclipsed by China, which has gobbled up mineral resources in the continent in exchange for a mixture of aid and investment.
