King Mohammed VI is represented at the 2nd Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Climate Commission for the Sahel Region as well as at the 36th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the African Union by Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch.

The Conference of the Climate Commission is held this Friday while the 36th AU Summit is held February 18-19. Both events are convened at the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa.

The African Union Summit will consider, among other issues, the institutional reform of the Union, the state of peace and security in the continent, the granting of a seat to the AU in the G20, the global food crisis, the AU’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the evaluation of the first ten-year plan of implementation of Agenda 2063, climate change and ways to speed up the implementation of the Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

AfCFTA was initially planned to enter into force in July 2020 but has been delayed due to the pandemic.
