NEW YORK, NY – The seventh edition of the ECAM Council has successfully concluded in New York, bringing together delegates from over 20 countries across four continents during the United Nations General Assembly week. The high-level summit focused on strengthening bridges between Africa, Europe, and Italy through strategic dialogue and economic diplomacy.
“Africa is no longer the continent of tomorrow; it is the continent of today,” declared ECAM President Kamel Ghribi during the council’s proceedings. The statement underscored a central theme of the gathering: Africa’s transformation from an emerging market to a present-day economic and strategic partner.
The council featured participation from Heads of State, Heads of Government, and Ministers from 20 countries, all expressing a unified vision for Africa’s role in shaping the global present rather than waiting for future opportunities. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Antonio Tajani delivered keynote remarks, sharing insights on Italy’s commitment to Africa-Europe collaboration.
A significant focus of discussions centered on the launch of the Mattei Plan, which participants characterized as both a strategic responsibility and historic opportunity for Europe and Italy to deepen engagement with African nations. The plan represents a comprehensive approach to fostering economic partnerships and development initiatives across the continent.
“In a world marked by conflict and tension, we are building bridges of cooperation and economic diplomacy, confident that these efforts can foster peace and stability,” noted summit organizers. The council emphasized the role of private sector actors in contributing to broader goals of international peace and economic development.
The ECAM Council addressed Africa’s most pressing development challenges while identifying remarkable opportunities for collaboration with European partners. Participants engaged in meaningful dialogue about sustainable development, trade partnerships, and strategic cooperation frameworks.
The successful conclusion of the seventh ECAM Council reinforces the organization’s commitment to fostering international cooperation and economic diplomacy as tools for building lasting peace and prosperity across continents.
