Taking part in the AfCFTA Business Forum held in Casablanca, the Secretary General of the African Continental Free Trade Area, Wamkele Mene, outlined the keys to strengthening trade and exports in Africa.

The ZLECAf Business Forum kicked off in Casablanca on Tuesday, November 5th. The event, attended by government officials and business leaders from across Africa, aims to advance regional integration and intra-African trade within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
In Niamey (Niger), Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita reassured Moroccans about the Kingdom’s new membership of the African Free Trade Agreement Area, joined by the Polisario Front. Joining AfCFTA should not be interpreted as an acknowledgement of an entity that threatens the Kingdom’s territorial integrity, Bourita said.
The Moroccan parliament will examine, Wednesday, a bill on joining the African Continental Free Trade Area. As in January 2017 with the Constitutive Act of the African Union, having «SADR» among the parties that signed AfCFTA shouldn’t be a stumbling block.
