The Government of Mauritius has indeed been honoured to host the inaugural African Economic Platform (AEP) meeting and I must say that we are very proud that this landmark event has started here, on our small island.

The AEP is undoubtedly the flagship project of the Agenda 2063 of the African Union, as we all agree that it’s high time for us Africans to walk the talk. Allow me to express my sincere appreciation for the interest shown by member states to take Africa to another level of development.

Excellencies, Heads of State and Government,
Your Excellency Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union,
Honourable Ministers,
Your Excellencies, Commissioners of the African Union,
Distinguished representatives of the private Sector of Africa,
Distinguished members of the African Academia,
Distinguished  Guests, Brothers and Sisters,

It gives me immense pleasure to extend to you all a warm welcome to Mauritius on the occasion of the inaugural session of the African Economic Platform, a landmark initiative.

ADDIS ABEBA, LE 14 MARS 2017

Excellences Messieurs les Chefs d’Etat et de Gouvernement,
