President Irfaan Ali wants Africa and the Caribbean to commit to exploring opportunities for trade and collaboration on important issues, such as climate change and energy security.
A release from the Office of the President said that the Head of State who is currently on an official state visit to the West African country of Ghana, emphasised the opportunities that exist for “massive increases in trade” between the continent of Africa and the Caribbean. He noted that in order to achieve these increases, systems must be put in place “to fix the trade barriers” and issues with transport and logistics.
These remarks were made during a panel discussion as part of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues 2024 Summit of Heads of State and Business Leaders yesterday held under the theme, “Delivering Prosperity in Africa: Produce, Add Value, Trade”.
