Bilateral and Multilateral Foreign Relations
The Next Africa-Canada Strategic Cooperation Axis
Facilitating high‑level economic diplomacy engagement between Canadian and ACFR African partners.
A Bridge of Cooperation and Diplomacy
ACFR Canada is a global hub of the African Council on Foreign Relations (ACFR) that convenes government institutions, companies, organizations, media, founders, investors, executives, and leaders across Canada and Africa to strengthen cooperation, drive economic development opportunities, and shape a modern, inclusive international development.
It serves as a platform for dialogue, innovation, and strategic collaboration, advancing shared priorities in diplomacy, economic development, technology, and next-generation leadership exchange.
Our mission stands upon the bedrock of rigorous economic diplomacy engagements, the bold design of strategic initiatives, and an unwavering commitment to forging a more equal partnership among nations. We labor for advantage and shared prosperity. In every strategic dialogue, we seek to transform collaborations into cooperation, and opportunity into development — shaping an international development landscape where economic diplomacy serves both Africa and Canada.
Four Pillars of Cooperation
We advance bilateral progress through four structured institutional pathways, aligning opportunities, research, strategic leadership, and corporate diplomacy across both ACFR partnerships in Canada and Africa.
