several initiatives to restore peace and stability on the African continent.
President Jacob Zuma was in Yokohama , Japan
Zuma said the recent crisis in Mali,
Guinea Bissau, the Central African Republic and Niger have demonstrated the
need for the AU to have a rapid response capacity.
Zuma has urged the Japanese Business
Sector to expand trade and investment on the African Continent.
Zuma further said Africa’s main
challenge is not that it is not part of regional and the global value chain but
that it is located at the lower end of the value edition segments of the chain
and Africa is committed to consolidate its effort on enhancing regional
integration underpinned by three critical elements, market integration,
industrial integration and infrastructure development.
