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.
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.
Good morning. I am very happy to be here with you. I wish to thank the African Union Commission and the Economic Commission for Africa for organising this important session. Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, thank you for being here, having come all this way for this meeting.
Good morning. Let me begin by thanking His Excellency, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, along with the Government and people of Ethiopia for the warm hospitality and for serving once again as our host.
We also note that this is the Prime Minister’s first time attending a summit like this one. Your Excellency, congratulations and welcome.
