French President Emmanuel Macron and more than 30 African leaders kicked off a summit in Kenya on Monday aimed at diversifying Paris' partnerships on the continent and clinching new investment deals.
The Africa Forward Summit is the first France has organised in an English-speaking nation since it began holding such events in the 1970s and follows a series of setbacks in former colonies in West Africa that have moved to reduce French influence.
