We are confident that, by concerting among themselves, the people of Africa
will be able to build an enduring community linked by solid economic as well
as political bonds. However, it is important that the opportunities for
consultation be expanded to a maximum. For this reason, Ethiopia has been
a staunch supporter of every conference of Independent Africa States. We
feel that by consultation and co-operation between independent States, the
clarity and force of the ideals or of freedom can best be preserved. Addis
Ababa has thus been the scene of many conferences of African countries, and,
in June of this year, the second Conference of Independent African States will
meet in Our Capital, to be followed by a series of other African meetings.
