Remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the AUC/ECA Partners Dialogue. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, the ultimate purpose of our efforts in the AUC and ECA is to contribute to improving the lives of millions of ordinary Africans. This entails enabling them to overcome grinding poverty while living in peaceful conditions and having access to quality healthcare, educational services, nutrition and functional infrastructure amongst other things. The Doha Round of trade talks is in its ninth year without any tangible hope of coming to a successful conclusion and its expected development benefits are in several respects being overtaken by regional and bilateral trade deals. Our challenge in Africa, of course, is that our long-term development objectives should not be forgotten or overlooked due to collective concentration on resolving current global economic problems. the partnership we are starting today must be a credible one that enables access, provides timely exchange of information, promotes interaction and engagement as well as a means of following-up on matters of mutual interest.
