Prez Mahama meets Alex Soros at UNGA81 on ECOWAS integration
President Mahama began his UNGA81 engagements by meeting Alex Soros, chair of the Open Society Foundations, on partnerships to support ECOWAS integration.
President John Dramani Mahama engaged in talks with Alex Soros, the Chairman of the Open Society Foundations (OSF), in New York on September 20, during the 81st United Nations General Assembly. The discussions aimed to explore potential partnerships and support for regional integration efforts under the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
According to a Presidency statement, Mr Soros and the OSF are keen on identifying areas of collaboration and possible assistance for ECOWAS integration. This meeting is seen as a prelude to a presidential roundtable organized by the Foundation, which will convene various African leaders and key global philanthropic organizations.
The proposed roundtable will discuss topics such as regional governance, institutional development, and civic participation. The OSF, founded by philanthropist George Soros, focuses on areas like democratic governance, human rights, justice, education, and accountable institutions. The meeting is part of President Mahama's diplomatic and development-related activities in New York ahead of the UN General Assembly.
