China's PLA Trains African Military Officers

 China-Africa Security Radar posted on 21 July 2025 an article titled "'Africanizing' Security: Charting the Future of China-Africa Peace Cooperation."

The People's Liberation Army Command College in Nanjing hosted in July the Young Leaders Conference of the China-Africa Peace and Security Forum for mid and senior-level military officers from more than 40 countries.  It is part of Beijing's pledge to implement the Global Security Initiative (GSI).  The article concludes that the long-term impact of the GSI will depend on how effectively African stakeholders can adapt and sustain the initiative for their own purposes.
