UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy concludes his inaugural tour of Africa, focusing on improving relationships with key nations like Nigeria and South Africa. Emphasizing a shift towards respectful partnerships, Lammy aims to foster long-term growth and collaboration. With global powers like China and Russia increasing their influence in Africa, the UK seeks to redefine its historical ‘big brother’ role, which has waned in recent years. Experts suggest that Labour’s historical ties to the anti-apartheid movement may enhance UK-South Africa relations, despite challenges faced after the departure of former Prime Minister Theresa May.
