Mr Salih Abdella, Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of the State of Eritrea, attended the countries' exhibition tour. It has been six years since we became part of the AU Head of Mission Social Committee by organising Africa Day in London. Each year, this event attracts more attendees and is becoming one of London's most important occasions. It is increasingly clear that Africa Day has significant potential as a platform that unites the African diplomatic corps, the African private sector, and the African diaspora.
