Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh to the 15th Ordinary Session of the African Union Executive Council
Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the 15th Ordinary Session of The African Union Executive Council. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, This Council through its deliberations has a critical role to play in ensuring that Africa speaks with a clear and common voice on global matters especially the global economic and financial crisis and negotiations on a post-Kyoto treaty on climate change. There is clear evidence that economic instability and political instability often go hand in hand and increasing economic hardship and the scramble for increasingly scarce resources may undermine hard won peace and security gains. The collective approach that Africa has taken so far to respond to the crisis following the landmark meeting of Ministers of Finance and Governors of Central Banks in Tunis in November last year under the aegis of the AU Commission, the African Development Bank and the ECA has already begun to yield some results.
