“The stories we tell about our magical Continent have resonated throughout Europe. Africa is no longer the “Dark Continent” but a place of incredible opportunity, resources, talent and beauty. The links between the 2 Continents have always been good and this Forum and the discussions and networking of people from both Continents will make them stronger.” Salim Amin
