Press Statement of the Hon. Prime Minister of Mauritius at the Closing Press Conference of the AEP
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.
