Speaker Among emphasized the urgency of a united African approach to addressing the continent\u2019s security and economic challenges.<\/p>\n
“Africa must stand together to solve its own problems. We must strengthen our parliamentary networks to advocate for peace and stability rather than relying on foreign assistance. Our unity as legislatures is key to driving change across the continent.”<\/p>\n
Speaker Mutti echoed the need for deeper collaboration, stressing that African parliaments must take the lead in shaping policies that promote sustainable development and regional cooperation.<\/p>\n
The meeting also highlighted the importance of economic self-sufficiency, with both speakers agreeing that African nations must work together to reduce reliance on external aid and instead harness their own resources for development.<\/p>\n
