“Sometimes it’s like the game Minecraft: there’s oil, there’s gas, there are critical minerals, rare earths. We put a bit of this, we invest in this. No, that’s not the way it goes,” Tuggar told Western media.
He emphasized that Africa’s trade partnerships should move beyond the exploitation of raw materials and focus on sustainable economic cooperation that benefits local industries and communities.
