Africa-Press. <\/strong> <\/span>Rwanda\u2019s Foreign Minister, Olivier Nduhungirehe, said his country is taking part in the African Union summit in Addis Ababa with a vision aligned with the AU\u2019s priorities, foremost among them implementing Agenda 2063\u2014especially on peace and security and continental economic integration.<\/p>\n

Nduhungirehe explained that Rwanda, from Kigali\u2019s perspective, sees stronger economic integration as a key pillar for building an African bloc capable of competing internationally, stressing that joint action among African states is the way to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n

The 39th African Union summit opened on Saturday in Ethiopia\u2019s capital, Addis Ababa, in the presence of UN Secretary-General Anto\u0301nio Guterres.<\/p>\n

No development without security<\/b><\/p>\n

The Rwandan minister said development cannot be achieved in the absence of security, noting that Africa still faces security challenges and instability in several regions.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the need to move beyond merely managing conflicts toward preventing them in the first place by addressing root causes\u2014chief among them weak governance and other structural problems.<\/p>\n

He warned that ignoring the roots of conflicts leads to severe humanitarian consequences, and said prioritizing these causes is a fundamental entry point to stability, paving the way for successful economic initiatives, including the African Continental Free Trade Area.<\/p>\n

The 39th AU summit is being held over two days to discuss security and climate issues and to seek ways to halt internal conflicts across the continent.<\/p>\n
