Remarks by President Paul Kagame at the launch of the African Union Peace Fund
A good evening to you. I am very pleased to join you today to launch the African Union’s revitalised Peace Fund. Thank you for making the time to be here, especially the Heads of State and Government here present.
Promoting peace and security is one of the core functions of our Union. However, up to this point, we have lacked a credible mechanism to fund our priority operations in this domain. We depended too extensively on external resources.
Remarks by President Paul Kagame at the Closed Session of the 11th Extraordinary Summit of the African Union
Excellencies, we have a very substantial agenda of reports and proposals to consider today. So I only wish to make a few observations before the Chairperson of the Commission presents his update.
The first is to thank you very sincerely for making the time to participate in this Extraordinary Summit, the second one this year. It is a lot to ask. But we are getting the results we need and that would absolutely not be possible without sustained engagement at the highest level.
