The African Union (AU) took to the stage in October when the event opened focusing on Disaster Risk and Reduction to promote its implementation of Agenda 2063, the continent’s master plan to transform into a global powerhouse of the future.
Dr Levi Uche Madueke, the AU’s Expo Commissioner General, said at the official event that the engagement will throw light on health, infrastructure and industrialization, ICT, gender, security and governance, trade and investment, agriculture, and more.
Madueke added that it offers the opportunity to showcase the continent’s commitment to sustainable development aligning with the AU agenda, as well as explore potential partnerships required for the continent’s economic transformation.
“Our message is simple: Africa is ready and open for business. We are going to utilize this platform to tell the African story to the world the way it really is and project the Africa we want through the marketing of our Agenda 2063 and what it entails.”
