African Union high-powered delegation to attend Trade Conference in the U.S

CHICAGO - EntSun -- Following a successful launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) at the 12th Extraordinary Summit in Naimey, Niger, the African Union (AU) is set to send a high-powered delegation to the 2nd edition of the Trade with Africa Business Summit in Chicago. The delegation would be led by His Excellency Ambassador Albert Muchanga, AU Trade Commissioner and Champion of Trade award recipient. Ambassador Muchanga will deliver a resounding keynote address on AfCFTA.

"According to the World Bank, U.S. controls 40% of global wealth and remains an important trade partner for Africa. With manufacturing steadily shifting to the region, the timing is right for U.S. business leaders to develop effective strategies towards Africa; particularly in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and for Africa's exporters to maximize the African Growth & Opportunity Act (AGOA). The Trade with Africa Business Summit presents an effective platform to facilitate trade discussions and provides a front row sit to business leaders looking to engage, build partnerships as well as educate themselves on the growing economic impact Africa is having on the global market." said Toyin Umesiri, CEO Nazaru LLC. and Founder of the Trade with Africa Business Summit.
