Statement at the Fourth Extraordinary Session of Assembly of Heads of State and Government

"Today, as we prepare to enter the next millennium, and as the continent is confronted with daunting challenges paused by globalization, we see the need to critically review the performance and role of our Organization, in the light of experiences gained. In doing so, we should be guided by the need to address our shortcomings and build on our achievements." - Dr. Salim, September 8, 1999
