President Mbeki leaves for Nigeria,
to attend the NEPAD Heads of State and Government Implementation
Committee Meeting in Abuja
Union Buildings - President Thabo Mbeki will tomorrow,
Wednesday May 28, depart for Abuja, Nigeria, to attend
the NEPAD Heads of State and Government Implementation
Committee Meeting on May 28.
The President will together with other African Heads
of State and Government also attend the Swearing-in
Ceremony of President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday
May 29.
President Mbeki will then proceed to France, Evian,
for the G8 Summit of June 1 - 2.
The 7th NEPAD Heads of State and Government Implementation
Committee Meeting is crucial to the advancement of Africa's
development agenda, especially since it takes place
a few days prior to the G8 Summit. This meeting will
therefore create space for African leaders further to
prepare for the G8 Summit and consider the NEPAD/G8
partnership.
