"We have invited representatives of all 54 African countries to participate, as well as the heads of regional and subregional integration associations, from the African Union to such as SADC, ECOWAS and others. Consent is currently being collected; a significant number of foreign ministers have already given their consent to participate. We expect that in the remaining time, most countries will confirm their participation in this event at one level or another, although we, of course, hope for the personal participation of foreign ministers,” Ozerov said.
