Old presidents, new agenda
Chaired by former Mozambican president, H.E. Joachim Chissano, the meeting was convened by the African Union Commission and hosted by South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation. The meeting re-affirmed that the Forum for Former African Heads of State and Government working closely with the African Union Commission, various AU policy making organs, African governments, the private sector, professional associations, churches and ordinary citizens including Africans in the Diaspora, has a critical supportive role, particularly in the area of advocacy to ensure full realisation of the aspirations of Agenda 2063.
