Opening Statement by Abdoulie Janneh UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the 1st Joint Annual Meetings of the AU Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance and ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. Mr. janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, this Conference is a special one. It is the first time that you are holding a joint meeting under the auspices of the African Union and Economic Commission for Africa, which apart from reducing the number of annual meetings that you have to attend will permit greater coordination of regional policy outcomes. Coming together at this time will also enable consultations and adoption of common positions prior to other key events like the Spring Meetings of the Bretton Woods Institutions, Board of Governors of the African Development Bank and the G8 Summit.
