摘要
Germany has gradually increased its investment in Africa.In addition to promoting traditional economic and trade cooperation,Germany has paid more attention to security issues in Africa and to improved cooperation in defense,immigration and counter-terrorism.As Germany explores new models of development aid and encourages renewable energy and environmental protection in African countries,German capability and willingness to cooperate with African nations are on the rise.While Germany welcomes the African consumer market,historic problems centering on value differences and the European Union’s diplomatic constraints obstruct German-African cooperation over the short term.Germany promotes trilateral cooperation with China and Africa but encounters several challenges within its forward momentum.
