Japan will occupy an influential position in 2008, particularly in relation to African development. It is presiding over the G8 and will host the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit in July. It is also hosting the Fourth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD IV) at the end of May. Japan has sought to develop a leadership role in Africa through this forum, which is convened once every five years.
