African Leaders Convene in Addis Ababa

(MENAFN) African heads of state and government assembled in Addis Ababa on Saturday for the 39th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union, a two-day gathering focused on water security, climate pressures, and enhancing Africa’s representation within global organizations.

During the summit, leaders unveiled the AU’s 2026 theme of the year — “Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of Agenda 2063.” This initiative highlights the continent’s commitment to sustainable resource management and public health infrastructure.

Prominent international figures, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa, and others, are attending the meeting at AU headquarters. Their presence reflects the rising global engagement with Africa’s development and security priorities.

Beyond deliberations on water governance and climate adaptation, participants are anticipated to examine peace and security situations across Africa, evaluate progress on Agenda 2063 — the AU’s comprehensive long-term development strategy — and consider reforms designed to enhance the efficiency and financial stability of the continental organization.
