\n

“Through this partnership, we aim to continue building the infrastructure that will foster industrialization, value capture and retention in Africa as well as create quality jobs for Africa\u2019s growing population. We eagerly anticipate further collaborations with T\u00fcrkiye, a nation that demonstrates a profound dedication to supporting Africa’s growth and prosperity in multiple critical sectors.\u201d<\/p>\nAFC CEO Samaila Zubairu<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Turk Eximbank justified its participation in AFC because the vision of AFC is aligned with Turkiye’s strategic vision to foster sustainable and resilient growth in Africa, as outlined in the Turkiye’s African Partnership Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proven track record of AFC to develop sustainable and impactful projects in Africa makes it a natural partner to support Turkiye’s development and cooperation agenda on the continent. Turkiye is a strong proponent of Pan-Africanism and a long-standing partner of Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As evidence of its commitment to AFrica, Turkiye development programs in Africa grew from USD 5.4B in 2003 to USD 40.7B in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n
