According to him, the Summit came up with programs to transform Africa and improve the lives of Africans. Referring to agenda 2063 in conjunction with 2030, which is the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the king said Africa is committed to seeing significant changes. He also stressed the need for unity and cooperation among African leaders, adding that working together can lead to greater successes. “Because if we walk the walk together, the successes are great, but in isolation, the successes can be limited. So we are looking forward to coordinating a lot of things here.”
