Charge d'Affaires of Ukraine
in Ethiopia Mr. Mykhailo Kirichenko presented the accreditation letter to the
Chairperson of the African Union Commission Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma on June
22, 2016.
Thus, Ukraine has officially
obtained the observer status in the African Union.
This status will facilitate
the maintaining of active dialogue between Ukraine and African countries,
especially with those where the Ukrainian diplomatic presence is limited.
Ukraine’s observer status in
the AU will be an additional mechanism of promoting Ukrainian foreign policy in
the international arena, including those in the framework of our membership in
the UN Security Council in 2016-2017.
Ukraine currently received
observer status in two organizations on the African continent - the African
Union and the Economic community of West African States (ECOWAS).
The African Union is a
continental union consisting of all African states except Morocco.
