"Excellencies, dear friends,
We gather on the eve of the United Nations 80th General Assembly high-level week – at a time of turbulence, but also tremendous opportunity.
Africa stands at the centre of that opportunity.
The continent is home to the world's youngest population, abundant renewable energy resources, and extraordinary creativity – from fintech to fashion, from agriculture to artificial intelligence.
Our challenge – and responsibility – is to turn this extraordinary promise into an engine of inclusive and sustainable prosperity, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 2063 and the Pact for the Future."
