Fourth Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union: Address By K.Y. Amoako, executive secretary, economic commission for Africa

Address By K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary, Economic Commission for Africa at the Fourth Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, any opportunity to exchange views with you on the critical nexus between Africa's development agenda, international economic policy and diplomacy is greatly valued. In its brief life, the AU has started to make a real contribution to meeting our many development challenges. Above all, through its focus on ensuring peace and security, it is laying the essential foundation stone for development. Looking to the future, the new Peace and Security Council presents an important mechanism through which the AU can effectively uphold its principles in this critical area. These actions do not only manifest a promise fulfilled to Africa's peoples that the AU would work to end the conflicts that have so often wrecked their lives.
