High-Level Dialogue on Multimodal Transport in Support of the African Continental Free Trade Area
| dc.description | The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), in collaboration with Google Africa and Africa 24, held the fifth Africa Business Forum on the margins of the thirty-fifth ordinary session of the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government. Delegates from the public and private sectors met in person and virtually to discuss how best to tap into that vast potential and meet the growing demand unleashed by the African Continental Free Trade Agreement. What are the roadblocks, and how can they be removed? These were critical questions for the session, themed: Investing in Multimodal Transport Infrastructure to Optimize the Benefits of the African Continental Free Trade Area: A Focus on Air Transport and Tourism. Vera Songwe, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the ECA, welcomed delegates to the rare-in-person event. Dignitaries attending included H.E. Julius Maada Bio, President Sierra Leone, H.E. Mokgweetsi E.K Masisi, President, Botswana, H.E. Dr. Amani Abou-Zeid, Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy, African Union Commission and Honourable Mamadou Tangara, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Gambians Abroad, Gambia. Also represented were top leaders from the travel and transport industries, such as Allan Kilavuka, Chief Executive Officer Kenyan Airways, and Google sent a video message from CEO Sundar Pichai. | en |
