Tackling insecurity in the Horn of Africa

China's role

Over two days in January 2012, Saferworld and the Africa Peace Forum (APFO) brought together a group of 23 experts from universities, think-tanks, NGOs and other organisations to deliberate on how China can best contribute to international efforts to support long-term peace and security in the Horn of Africa region. The seminar was held under the Chatham House rule: this report does not directly represent the opinions and views of any individual participants or organisations. Instead, it is an attempt to summarise and reflect broad areas of consensus.

“The question for Chinese policy makers is not if China should help – but how it can.”
