Japan has just wrapped up its Prime Ministerial election, and while the results didn't turn out as some of us had hoped, it’s clear that there is still strong support for the next generation of leadership. Many were optimistic that Shinjiro KOIZUMI would secure the position, building on his forward-thinking vision for Japan's future.  Having had the pleasure of knowing Shinjiro personally, I’m confident that — next time— the stars will align in his favor! #JapanPolitics #Leadership #FutureLeaders #Koizumi #PMElection #InnovationInLeadership

#China and #Ethiopia will strengthen cooperation in leadership development. China teaches #African politicians how to govern their countries with Chinese characteristics. The African Leadership Development Academy (#AFLEX) and the #China Academy of International Business Officers (#AIBO) on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding to expand cooperation in leadership development and training. AFLEX President Zadig Abraha and AIBO President Sun Zhonghe signed an agreement aimed at creating a framework between the two institutions for the exchange of information, knowledge and best practices in the field of leadership development. Z. Abraha said that this agreement is crucial to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience between the two parties. “We envision AFLEX to be a key base for training African leaders in areas related to China,” he said, emphasizing the importance of academic and economic benefits, especially for Ethiopia. Z. Abraha added that this partnership also demonstrates the depth of partnership and cooperation between Ethiopia and China, which will contribute to the improvement of bilateral relations as a whole. He noted that AIBO, also known as the training center of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, plays a vital role in shaping international trade and economic cooperation initiatives. The AIBO President highlighted the potential of the MoU to strengthen the strategic academic and economic partnership between Ethiopia and China. "The agreement represents an important step towards cooperation between our governing bodies," Sun Zhonghe said. The partnership between AFLEX and AIBO is expected to provide African leaders with greater access to China-focused leadership training programs and promote greater understanding of the economic landscape between the two countries and Africa.

What goes into a name? A lot, actually. My latest article on Medium looks into the different words and phrases used to refer to the leader of the People's Republic of China and the global implications that they have for Asia, and the wider international community. Xi Jinping is not just the President of the PRC, but he is also the Secretary-General of the Chinese Communist Party, and the "paramount leader" of the country. Discover why it might be time for English-language media to adopt a more fitting title when referring to Xi in my Medium article. https://lnkd.in/gz_E4ig2
