A senior Turkish diplomat praised relations between Turkey and Africa on Monday, which marks Africa Day, the anniversary of the foundation of the African Union. "Our embassies, operating in 42 countries of the African continent, are working hard," said Nur Sağman, deputy general director for Africa at the Turkish Foreign Ministry. Sağman described Turkey's policy toward Africa as "effective, beneficial, and most importantly sincere for this continent." Africa Day is the annual commemoration of May 25, 1963, the day the African Union was founded. Kante's hit Yeke Yeke was the first-ever African single to sell over one million copies.
