STORYLINE:
The third Aswan Forum for Sustainable Peace and Development kicked off on Tuesday with a focus on multiple crises faced by Africa, especially the food security, climate change and anti-terror fight.
Antonio Guterres, secretary-general of the United Nations, said in his video message to the forum held in Egypt's capital Cairo that "the people of Africa are facing unprecedented and multidimensional crises."
The crises, Guterres said, include an economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic and deepened by the skyrocketing prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, a crisis of unequal access to vaccines, a financial crisis with countries unable to access debt relief, a crisis of instability, terrorism and conflict, as well as a climate crisis.
