Catch my interview with @MeneWamkele , Secretary-General, @AfCFTA, tonight on #FocusOnAfrica on the @BBCAfrica @BBCWorld
Key takeaways from the discussion were:-
1. Africa must establish alternative supply chains to avert the effects of disruption brought about by pandemics or wars.
2. Industrialization takes time, and China is one example.
3. African countries can sign trade deals with countries outside of the continent, but they must give the same benefits or better to other African countries as per the protocol.
4. The Africa free trade area roll-out was delayed by Covid among other disruptions, but with the full support of African Presidents, the pact is fully on track.
