      • Opening Remarks by H.E. Youssouf Mandoha Assoumani, Chairperson of the Permanent Representatives’ Committee at the 47th Ordinary Session of the PRC, 15 January 2024, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
        Discours de SEM Youssouf Mondoha Assoumani Président du COREP lors de 47ème Session ordinaire du COREP
        • Excellence Monsieur le Président de la Commission de l’Union Africaine
        • Excellence madame la Vice Présidente de la Commission de l’union Africaine
        • Mesdames et Messieurs les Commissaires
        • Mesdames et Messieurs les Ambassadeurs représentants permanents de nos Etats membres
        • Madame le Secrétaire de la Commission
        • Mr le Directeur Général de la Commission
        • Staff et fonctionnaires de la Commission,
        • Excellences Mesdames et Messieurs,
        • Honorable assistance,

        Je voudrais, tout d’abord, remercier, au nom du Comité des Représentants permanents, S.E.M MoussaFaki Mahamat, Président de la Commission de l’Union Africaine, pour ses bons vœux, et lui adresser, à mon tour, en ma qualité de Président du COREP, et au nom de mes collègues, nos vœux, les meilleurs, en cette entame de l’année 2024.

        Tous nos meilleurs vœux à vous-même, Excellence. Monsieur le Président, à votre noble famille et à l’ensemble de vos collaborateurs, qui vous accompagnent, dans l’accomplissement de votre lourde mission, au service de notre organisation continentale.

         Mes vœux s’adressent, également, à vous, mes chers collègues, en ce jour qui marque la reprise de nos travaux, inaugurant cette 47ème Session Ordinaire du COREP, la première de cette nouvelle année 2024.

        Notre présente session intervient, au lendemain du premier tour des Elections Présidentielles et des Gouverneurs des îles, qui s’est tenu en Union des Comores, mon pays, hier, 14 janvier courant, en présence des observateurs internationaux, parmi lesquels, les observateurs de l’Union Africaine.

        Je suis heureux de vous informer, honorable assistance Mesdames et Messieurs, que ce premier tour, dont les résultats seront proclamés dans les prochains jours, s’est déroulé dans un bon climat.

        Honorable assistance, Mesdames et Messieurs,

        A l’aube de cette nouvelle année, je voudrais, vous inviter, Mesdames et Messieurs, à partager avec moi, une pensée particulière, à toutes celles et ceux qui nous ont quitté, victimes des théâtres des guerres, qui sévissent, ici et là, de part le monde, mais aussi, tout ceux qui continuent à souffrir, quelque soit, la source ou l’origine de leurs maux.

        Faisons ensemble le vœu d’un monde de paix, un monde de solidarité, un monde de tolérance ou la seule arme serait l’arme du Dialogue, pour un vivre ensemble harmonieux.

        Mesdames et Messieurs

        Notre présente session est consacrée à la préparation du prochain sommet ordinaire de notre organisation, qui se tiendra du 17au 18 février 2024.

        Nous aurons, au cours de nos travaux, à examiner, d’une part, les rapports des organes et des sous comités, et à nous pencher, d’autre part, sur deux de nos projets majeurs, que sont la reforme de notre organisation et l’évaluation du 1èr plan décennal qui ouvrira le lancement du notre deuxième plan décennal.

        Dans le même élan, il s’agira d’examiner également, la feuille de route du thème de cette année 2024, à savoir, Éduquer une Afrique adaptée au 21ème siècle : construire des systèmes éducatifs résilients pour un accès accru à un apprentissage inclusif, qualitatif, tout au long de la vie et pertinent pour l’Afrique]

        Au regard de notre agenda, que d’aucuns qualifient de marathon, devant nous conduire aux hautes instances délibérantes de notre organisation, il nous reviendra de faire montre de rigueur, de souplesse et de sagesse, pour parvenir à des conclusions pertinentes et consensuelles, à la hauteur des attentes de nos Etats respectifs.

        C’est sur cette invitation, Mesdames et Messieurs et chers collègues, que je déclare ouverts, les travaux de la 47ème session Ordinaire du Comité des représentants Permanents de l’Union Africaine.

        Je vous remercie
