The Africa Continental Summit held in Niamey, Niger, was hosted by President Mahamadou Issoufou with the participation of more than 2,000 national and international delegates, including current and former heads of state and government from 70 nations across Africa and around the world. UPF organized the summit with the full cooperation and endorsement of Niger’s government, and the support of the representatives of the African Union, ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States, a regional union of 15 countries), and the G5 Sahel (a regional union of five countries dealing with jihadist organizations).
President Issoufou and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) based on Blessed Africa Initiative to affirm the UN Sustainable Development Goals and find ways for UPF to support the African Union’s Africa Continental Free Trade Area, which ratified supporting operational instruments during the African Union Summit held in Niamey in July 2019. On November 29, all the participants attended the Family Renewal Festival at the Palais des Congrès in the presence of the Prime Minister Brigi Rafini.
