Boris Johnson has promised further talks with leaders across Africa

It follows the investment summit in London this week

Boris Johnson has vowed to invite African leaders to the UK "regularly" following the investment summit in London this week.

The Prime Minister made the pledge in a bilateral meeting with Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta at Downing Street, and said "a lot of progress" had been made during the talks.

Opening the UK-Africa Investment Summit in the Capital's Docklands on Monday, Mr Johnson set out his post-Brexit trade pitch to African leaders with his vision to put "people before passports" as part of incoming plans for an Australian-style points-based immigration system.

The Conservative Party leader tempted premiers from across the continent with the UK's financial and education systems, and took time to meet with the leaders of Rwanda, Ghana and Nigeria at the event.
