Goodwill Statement by H.E. Amb. Selma Malika Haddadi
It is a profound honour and a privilege to join you personally on this special occasion.
I convey warm greetings from the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, His Excellency Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, and from the entire African Union family, in Addis Ababa and from the entire continent.
We are pleased to stand with you at this significant milestone in the life of Afreximbank, as we celebrate the seamless transition to a new chapter of leadership within this esteemed African institution.
Across Africa, when a baobab tree has stood firm through seasons of wind and storm, the village gathers to celebrate its shelter and strength.
Today, we gather in that same spirit, as one Pan-African family, to honour service, continuity, excellence and our shared continental destiny.
Afreximbank has, on many occasions, walked hand-in-hand with the African Union as a trusted partner in advancing the aspirations of our Union and the vision of Agenda 2063.
