“The journey to establish the world’s largest free trade area began here in Kigali, six years ago. One year later in Niamey, the operational phase of AfCFTA was launched. These two historic moments demonstrate our commitment to the economic unity and prosperity of Africa.
We now live in a complex and ever-changing world. But there are a lot of opportunities for us to take advantage of. As a continent, how well we adapt will depend on how strongly connected we are, and on the value we add to our collective wealth.
The good news is that integration in Africa is ongoing, and already, we can see positive results.” President Kagame | 2nd AfCFTA Business Forum: Biashara Afrika 2024.
