Tomorrow: Join us for a special event featuring His Excellency Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, on September 19
Amsterdam & Partners LLP cordially invite you to an exclusive breakfast conversation with His Excellency Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Robert Amsterdam.
As global power dynamics shift and new alliances take shape, Africa is asserting itself not as a continent in need, but as one of innovation, ambition, and strategic value. This conversation with His Excellency Yusuf Maitama Tuggar will explore how to build partnerships grounded in mutual respect, agency, and shared prosperity — moving beyond outdated paradigms of aid and dependency.
The international approach to development and diplomacy in Africa — influenced in part by the policies of the new U.S. administration — is rapidly evolving toward frameworks driven by commerce, bilateral negotiations, and shared strategic interests. This transformation offers African governments unprecedented opportunities to engage with global partners on a more equal footing, negotiating terms that align with their priorities, markets, and long-term visions. In this shifting landscape, it is essential to reconsider how governments, businesses, and institutions interact with the continent.
We hope you can join us. Please find the details below:
