The Assembly also marked the handover of the AU Chairmanship from João Lourenço of Angola to Évariste Ndayishimiye of Burundi, who will lead the Union until February 2027.

Seychelles highlighted its commitment to addressing historical injustices through the declaration of 1st February as a public holiday commemorating the abolition of slavery.

Key discussions also covered peace and security, Africa’s push for permanent representation on the United Nations Security Council, and the AU’s engagement with the G20.

On the margins, Vice President Pillay engaged with African leaders and institutions on strengthening collaboration and the strategic role of island States in Africa’s development.
