Quote about attendance and contribution to the EurAfrican Forum:

“Fora like this are critical for the growth and prosperity of Africans in Africa as well for diaspora Africans. Already, we are building trade bridges to connect Africa to Europe and the rest of the world at MVX. The EuraAfrican Forum 2021 presents an opportunity to promote conversations about better social and economic integration between Africa and Europe and invent new ways to move Africa forward. I am excited to be a part of it, and I look forward to sharing my ideas and learning from other participants.”
