Crises become opportunities, through partnerships. Take sargassum, a seaweed spreading in the Caribbean, hurting the fishing and tourism industries. With Grenada and the EU, we’re developing the sargassum value chain. With @pmogrenada and @JozefSikela at Global Gateway.

The African Growth and Opportunity Act or AGOA, a cornerstone of US-Africa trade, has expired. AGOA was about trade, not aid. It has benefitted African exporters and US-based manufacturers. Read my reflections on the way forward for African economies:

My message to youth leadership at #UNGA: Multilateralism works, but we have to make it work. As AI-native generations, you're incredibly well-positioned to accelerate the SDGs and shape our digital future. No generation has ever been so ready—or so capable—to lead. #YouthLead

Investment in critical raw materials is key to powering electric vehicles, renewable energy and AI. Here, Africa needs to see itself as the prize. Others have to understand there’s a price to pay, and there’s something to be gained from this alliance. #UNGA

Looking forward to working together, Minister @P_Sebahizi. Everything from payments to identification is digital, so it’s a requirement for the new economy. And it's a priority for small businesses.

For small businesses, digital connectivity is not a nice-to-have. Governments must see digital as part of the development framework, just like building roads. Watch State of Africa on #SMEMinisterial by @aladinstitute and @MastercardFdn, on @cnbcafrica: https://t.co/YqOY6XvUlr
