"We will see to what extent we can raise funds to save Africa," said Tshisekedi, adding that the pandemic"left our economies drained because we have had to spend all the little resources we had to fight the disease".

"It is a very important moment, we gather here to reverse a process of a very dangerous divergence between advanced economies and developing countries, especially Africa," said IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva in opening comments.She warned that African economic growth would reach just 3.2 percent this year, far behind the rest of the world's projected six percent.
