On the margins of the Summit, the SG met with H.E. Mr. Gamal Mohamed Hassan, Minister of Commerce and Industry, to discuss national economic priorities and opportunities for collaboration. Their exchange focused on regional integration, digital trade, trade negotiations, the green economy and investment facilitation, reinforcing UN Trade and Development’s commitment to supporting Africa’s economic transformation and sustainable growth.
