Calling to “break with economic neocolonialism” and to make education and training a priority for the future of the African continent, CESE president noted that the geographical proximity between Europe and Africa has developed a rich common history, thus forging deep and lasting bonds that share universal values. Slaoui highlighted the “duality” between Africa’s status as a continent with a young and growing population, endowed with invaluable resources, and Europe’s status as a considerable market with deep historical ties to Africa. Addressing the importance of the New Development Model focused on meeting citizens’ needs, reducing disparities and inequalities, and achieving social and territorial justice, Yousra El Hatib underscored the importance of digitalization as a powerful driver of transformation. This event will be followed by the holding in Dakhla Nov.4-6 of the General Assembly of the African Federation of ENA Alumni in Africa. The General Assembly offers a platform for exchange and development for alumni on the African continent.
