Closing Remarks By H.E Amb. Selma Malika Haddadi, Deputy Chairperson of AUC on the occasion of 25 Years of Gates Foundation - Inspiring Progress

It is fitting that today's celebration took place within the walls of a venue that bears the name of one of Africa’s most visionary sons and leaders—who once reminded us that “freedom is meaningless if people cannot put food in their stomachs, if they cannot have shelter, if illiteracy and disease continue to dog them.” These words by Nelson Mandela remain as relevant today as ever, serving as a powerful reminder that the aspirations of our 1.5 billion people must be matched by tangible progress in their daily lives.
