BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 13. Trade integration
in Africa will create greater opportunities for the development of
the African continent, former President of the European Council
(EU) Charles Michel said during the 13th Global Baku Forum on
“Bridging Divides in a World in Transition,” Trend reports.


“The ‘African Dream’ envisions further trade integration across
the continent. Everyone understands that if this is realized in
practice, it will open enormous opportunities, more resources, more
tools, and greater prospects for Africa’s development,” Michel
said.


He also acknowledged the significant challenges, noting that
Africa is a vast continent with more than 50 countries and a large
population.


“Regional integration through regional organizations could also
serve as a highly practical instrument,” he added.
