I would also like to place on record my deep appreciation of the initiatives taken by the organisers in instituting the Memorial Lecture Series and want to assure them of my whole-hearted support to this worthy initiative. Thank you. 6  BIS Review 126/2006
It will not be possible to invite all 54 countries or all the regional groupings to the G20 but there is a strong possibility of a representative of the continent presenting our views and interests in the G20. The AU and indeed the AACB fully recognise the benefits of regionalism and have promoted continental programs geared towards strengthening Africa’s voice in the global arena.
