On Tuesday the 26th of March marked the first day of the official proceedings of the conference.

The day started with two very interesting speeches and an even more interesting follow up of answering questions that arose, from our keynote speakers,

H.E. Ambassador Roland KOBIA (EU Delegation to Ethiopia)

and Patrick DUPONT  (Head of Political, Press and Information –
Delegation of the European Union to the African Union).

Later on, the presentations took place in both plenary and parallel sessions and the day concluded with a dinner at the hotel’s pool.
