African Continental Free Trade Area A Lifeline For African Economies – Uhuru
President Uhuru Kenyatta has said the success of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will assist the continent to overcome some of its pressing economic challenges.
Once again, the President reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to AfCFTA and rallied other African states to work closely with the agency’s Secretariat to ensure that continental trade arrangement succeeds.
The Head of State spoke Wednesday at Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri County at a meeting with AfCFTA’s Secretary-General Wamkele Mene who paid him a courtesy call.
Beyond its economic importance, President Kenyatta pointed out that AfCFTA has the potential to accelerate continental integration efforts by promoting people-to-people interactions through trade.
