Zubair Qureshi
Ambassadors of the African countries on Thursday at a meeting commemorated the outcomes of the 36th African Union (AU) summit held recently in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia which is also headquarter of the AU. The meeting was hosted by Ambassador of Ethiopia Jemal Beker Abdula.
The participants praised Jemal Beker Abdula for his initiative and termed it crucial to further strengthen bilateral, multilateral and global cooperation among the African countries.
Addressing the gathering of African ambassadors, Ethiopian ambassador Jemal Beker said the aim of the meeting was to celebrate the success stories of the African Union and its future role in furthering Pan-Africanism to realize the “Vision 2063: The Africa We Want”.
He highlighted the vibrant and leading role played by the African Union for the global peace and security in the fast-changing global dynamism.
The AU has been striving to transform the continent of Africa into the global power by promoting unity and solidarity between its member states and boosting socio-economic cooperation through regional integration.
“So far, with collective will and wise and visionary leadership, the union has made unimaginable achievements. Be it a COVID-19 or any other endemic, terrorism or climate change, the initiatives of the AU speak volume about its remarkable performance,” he remarked. With unity among its member states, the AU has successfully been implementing its vision of “Africa solutions for the African problems” and the signing of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement between the Government of Ethiopia and TPLF in Pretoria last year was a true manifestation of this principle.
