During this session, foreign ministers of the AU member states will examine several reports, including that of the 48th ordinary session of the Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC) and the report on the activities of the AU’s 2024 theme ‘Educate an African fit for the 21st Century: Building resilient education systems for increased access to inclusive, lifelong, quality, and relevant learning in Africa’. A number of issues will also be addressed, including AU’s participation in the G20 and the African Union’s partnerships. The Executive Council is also expected to adopt the AU budget for 2025. Morocco’s participation in this session will be an opportunity to promote Moroccan candidacies for important bodies of the pan-African organisation.
