34th session of the NEPAD Heads of State and Government Orientation Committee : remarks by Carlos Lopes UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the ECA

Statement by CARLOS LOPES UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the 34th Session of the NEPAD Heads of State and Government Orientation Committee.The History of humanity is so rich and complex that we have difficulties relating to a very remote common origin, except for historical assessments and philosophical statements. It is easier for all to link to a more recent past, the one that through events and social interaction shaped our identities. Human beings have a selective reading of History.
