The Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) has concluded with the adoption of the "Yokohama Declaration." This was announced in an official lengthy final statement that included future economic development and strategies for numerous African countries. The time-tested commitment of Japan to fostering growth and stability in Africa was reinforced during this event.

In Japan, TICAD is seen as a key part of Japan's international diplomacy and its commitment to contributing to the international community. Particularly due to Japan's historical ties and ongoing collaborative efforts with many African nations. The adoption of the "Yokohama Declaration" is seen as a reaffirmation of this commitment and is likely to be considered significant by Japanese citizens, policy makers, and the media alike.

TICAD can be equated to international engagements such as those organized by the EU's European Development Days or the US's United States–Africa Leaders Summit. These meetings involve dialogue, decision-making and collaborations on global issues, with the ultimate aim of fostering growth and stability in underdeveloped regions.
