Statement at the 10th Anniversary Summit Conference of the Heads of State and Government at the PTA

On January 20, 1993 Dr. Salim addressed the 10th anniversary of the PTA. 

"As the PTA prepares to enter its second decade, one must also reflect on the socio-political environment under which it must operate. The said environment will also influence the new priorities of the OAU. These priorities are predicted on the clear recognition that without peace, stability and security, meaningful economic development, and especially economic integration is a goal that becomes difficult, if not impossible to attain. Consequently, as the OAU pursues the goal of economic cooperation and integration, which is a priority it must pursue with vigor and determination, it has, at the same time, to pursue its agenda for peace and security in our countries."
