History

The Future Resilience Forum (FRF) was launched in October 2023 in London by the UK's first female Downing Street Chief-of-Staff Fiona Hill, with keynote speeches from UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former Senegalese President Macky Sall.[1] [2]

The event featured over 40 speakers from 17 countries, including Japan's Minister for Digital Transformation Taro Kono, BBC Director General Tim Davie, Iraq's President Abdul Latif Rashid, and former UK Secret Intelligence Service Chief Sir Alex Younger.[3] [4] [5] During the forum, Macky Sall stressed in his speech the need for a more inclusive and representative multilateral system to sustain the global financial structure.[6] [7]

In 2024, Bloomberg became the media sponsor for FRF.[8] The 2024 edition of FRF will feature 60 speakers from 20 countries, including representatives from Togo, Gambia, Estonia, Turkey, Mali, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Ghana, and Morocco. A key focus of FRF 2024 is highlighting the interconnectedness of foreign policy, trade, development, and security, while fostering collaboration and rethinking relationships between Western nations and African countries in the pursuit of global security.[9]
