Believing that this potential for intra-African trade can be immediately developed by concerted efforts to exchange facts, ideas and existing resources for intra - African trade;


Further believing that an All-Africa Trade Fair offers the best forum for exchange and dissemination of information on intra-African trade:


INVITES the Assembly of Heads of State and Government to direct the OAU Administrative Secretary-General to organize an All-Africa Trade Fair as soon as possible.
