Distinguished Members of the African Union Delegation,
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The year 2016 has been particularly fruitful for the African Union Commission as it continues to work hard at the implementation of the first 10-year plan of Africa’s Agenda 2063. We very pleased to see AU Member States and Regional Economic Communities intensify Agenda 2063 domestication.
