China and Angola Deepen Cooperation Through Global Development Initiative
What happened
The Group of Friends of the Global Development Initiative (GDI) was established in New York City in 2022 to facilitate cooperation between China and other nations. The GDI aims to promote sustainable development and post-COVID-19 recovery. This framework supports projects like the Caculo-Cabaca Hydropower Station, which was built in Cuanza Norte Province, Angola, in May 2023.

Why it matters
The GDI framework expands the institutional links between China and developing nations. This cooperation builds upon the existing structural relationship where China provides financial support to Angola and serves as its main buyer of oil. The initiative aims to structure development cooperation through international partnerships.
