3rd Extraordinary Session of the AU Conference of Ministers of trade: remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Secretary of the ECA
Remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Secretary of the ECA at the third Extraordinary Session of the AU Conference of Ministers of Trade. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, we will continue to strongly but objectively advocate that given the reality that our countries are at different development levels; the world needs to uphold a universal, rules-based, transparent, predictable, non-discriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system. the reforms that are anticipated to arise from the multilateral and bilateral agreements will pose some challenges for Africa. But this is expected whenever reforms are undertaken as you may attest from your experiences as key decision makers. Besides, if Africa is to maximize its potential and ensure it fully benefits from the international and intra-African trade, it has to raise its productive capacities and deal with the supply constraints that hinder its competitiveness.
