"As we begin the new Century it is necessary to consolidate the
initiatives aimed at enhancing the necessary complementarities
between domestic reforms in Africa and the international economic
and political relations. A conducive and sympathetic international
environment is a critical imperative for the success of Africa's
initiatives aimed at achieving sustainable growth and poverty
eradication." - Dr. Salim, February 18, 2000
