Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>According to the Henley and Partners Openness Index, eight of the top 10 most open countries in the world are African, highlighting the continent\u2019s hospitality.<\/p>\n The extraordinary openness displayed by these African nations challenges stereotypes and demonstrates an idea of unity and cooperation that stretches well beyond their boundaries. At least 12 African countries are amongst the top 20 most open countries in the world.<\/p>\n 8 African nations top the Henley and Partners Openness Index. Henley and Partners, a firm focused on residence and citizenship by investment, recently released its Openness Index for 2024. The ranking highlighted Africa\u2019s remarkable flair for hospitality.<\/p>\n At the forefront of this extraordinary ranking are Burundi, Cape Verde Islands, Comoro Islands, Djibouti, Kenya, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Rwanda. These 8 countries rank amongst the top 10 most friendly countries in the world.<\/p>\n All 8 countries rank first on the Henley and Partners index, as they all allow citizens from an impressive 198 countries to enter their borders without imposing stringent visa restrictions.<\/p>\n Burundi, Cape Verde Islands, Comoro Islands, Djibouti, Kenya, and Guinea-Bissau, are the 6 most open countries in the world. Right after these six are Micronesia and Maldives, before Mozambique and Rwanda.<\/p>\n Speaking on the results presented in the Henley Global Mobility Report 2024 Q1, award-winning author and journalist, Justice Malala noted that given Kenya and Rwanda\u2019s bold decision last year to allow visa-free travel for all African countries, African mobility is set to face a crossroads in 2024.<\/p>\n She stated, \u201cKenya and Rwanda are the first major political and economic powers to offer completely visa-free access to international and continental visitors. Their no-visa policies breathe new life into the AU\u2019s attempts to bring about free movement of goods, services, capital, and the continent\u2019s 1.4 billion people.\u201d<\/p>\n These incredible outcomes not only demonstrate these countries\u2019 dedication to building global ties but also defies conventional beliefs about accessibility in the global arena.<\/p>\n source: africa.businessinsider<\/b><\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About Eritrea<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CHINEDU OKAFOR Africa-Press – Eritrea.
