"It is my distinct honour to invite you, on behalf of the African Development Bank Group, in partnership with the African Union Commission, to participate as a Panellist at the High-Level. “I am delighted to accept the invitation of the African Development Bank & the African Union Commission to partake in a high-level panel discussion on the sidelines of the 39th Ordinary Summit of African Union Heads of State & Government on Feb 13, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,” he wrote. “The discussion theme… resonates deeply with our ongoing campaign for a visa-free Africa by 2030,” he added. The AfDB–AUC panel appearance marks Mr Mubarak’s first formal continental role following the campaign and signals growing institutional recognition of the Trans Africa Tourism and Unity Campaign’s advocacy for a visa-free Africa by 2030. The African Development Bank Group acknowledged that all of Africa’s ambitions for an integrated and prosperous continent rely on actualizing visa free mobility.
