I bring greetings from H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, who could not be with us due to other pressing commitments of the Union. Let me thank our gracious Host, H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa, for allowing us to regroup here in Cape Town barely two years after hosting us in Durban during the second Intra-African Trade Fair.
As the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement gathers momentum, it is important to allow the pan-African business community to take ownership of this flagship project. The African Union Commission, the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area, Member States, Regional Economic Communities, Development Partners have delivered on this flagship project on Agenda 2063, and it is now up to the private sector to start trading.
This is an opportunity for our continent to leapfrog as we recover from the ravages of the COVID pandemic and the geo-politics. It is equally an opportune moment to galvanize the continent from the extra-continent dynamics and start looking for home-grown solutions.H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa, managed to mobilize resources for the fight against COVID, and we have low death rates when compared to other continents.
As we gather here for the next four days, let us ensure we create Business-to-Business relationships under the AfCFTA. We have to start somewhere, and this AfCFTA business forum is an opportune moment to do so.
