Good morning Colleagues,
I am glad to be with this group of distinguished thought leaders on matters of economic integration.
I warmly welcome our colleagues from outside Africa. You are among friends, feel at home.
Dear colleagues,
The product that you are processing will be a vital guide to policy and decision making on African economic integration.
This is because we are harnessing economic integration as a key lever of inclusive and sustainable development, especially with regard to the Continental Free Trade Area project.
