CM/Res. 126(IX)
RESOLUTION ON INTRA-AFRICAN CO-OPERATION IN THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, CULTURAL, SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL FIELDS
The Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity, meeting in its Ninth Ordinary Session in Kinshasa, Congo, from 4 to 10 September 1967,
Recognizing once again the vital importance of intra-African co-operation in the economic, social, cultural, scientific and technical fields;
Noting the existence of a firm and unanimous desire to base this co-operation on a sound foundation of solidarity, in conformity with the provision and the spirit of the OAU Charter;
Taking cognizance with satisfaction of the praiseworthy efforts of the General Secretariat in this field, but noting that the functioning of the Specialized Commissions is often blocked by the impossibility of reaching the quorum of members for these Commissions,
REQUESTS:
The Government of the Member States to participate regularly in the meetings of the Specialized Commissions of the OAU;
The Member States to co-operate with the General Secretariat in this field and in particular to provide it as early as possible with the requisite information that will enable it to carry out the tasks which devolve upon it;
INVITES the Administrative Secretary-General to fix shortly, after consulting with Member States, the earliest possible date on which the OAU Specialized Commissions can meet at Addis Ababa, so they may submit their recommendations to the Tenth Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers.
