Africa in a Multipolar World - with Erik Solheim

On this episode of NABA Perspectives we speak with Erik Solheim, Norway's former Minister of International Development and Minister of the Environment, as well as former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme .
We discuss Africa's role in an emerging multipolar world order, why the continent should not "choose sides" as it navigates a more complex and diverse international landscape, and why it could be the next Asia in global growth and development.

It is up to us Africans to choose our own partners without asking for permission or advise from outsiders in order to validate our choices. All are welcome as long as they respect us as equal partners. Others never ask us about who they should have preferential relations with.
