The UK Commits to Its Part in Boosting Trade With Africa

In a show of commitment to trade facilitation between the UK and Africa, the UK Government and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) secretariat have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Formally signed by James Duddridge MP, the UK Minister for Africa, and His Excellency Secretary-General of the AfCFTA, Wamkele Mene, at the secretariat's headquarters in Accra, this MoU formalises the shared commitment.

Mene said: "The AfCFTA is a continent-wide integration project that is built on the intellectual labour of African thinkers, dreamers and negotiators across generations – who imagined and put in place the economic foundation on which a united, integrated and prosperous Africa will be built."
