This is a report from a Salzburg Global session held in April 2025 on "Africa Forum: Centering an African Vision for a New Multilateral Future." The purpose of this session, which was held under the Pathways to Peace Initiative, was to center African perspectives and ideas in ways that elevate the key role and distinct contributions of the African continent in an emerging geopolitical nexus of cooperation and competition, and more importantly to highlight an African vision for the pathways that might lead to a more peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable 21st century.
