Mesfin Tasew Bekele, a prominent international business figure and the Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, has indicated that he will attend the first Africa Prosperity Dialogues.
Girma Wake, the chairman of his board, will also be present.
The African Prosperity Network and its partners, notably the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the government of Ghana, the program's host country, are organising it.
The first of these yearly discussions, known as the "Kwahu Summit," will take place from January 26 to 28, 2023.
The Africa Prosperity Dialogues, which focus on intra-African trade, unite the continent's political and corporate leaders to plan and collaborate on the creation of the crucial single market known as the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Mesfin Tasew Bekele expressed his excitement at being a part of such a significant conversation series aimed at accelerating the implementation of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area Agreement when he confirmed his participation through email to the organisers.
