Key topics included strengthening the union’s institutional framework and fostering greater synergy between the APU and the African Union. Sonko emphasized the need for systemic reforms to boost the APU’s impact on shaping continental policy directions. He proposed closer alignment between the APU’s resolutions and those of the African Union to ensure cohesive governance across African institutions.
