A delegation from the Government of Uruguay on Friday met with the UN Economic Commission for Africa’s Deputy Executive Secretary, Giovanie Biha, and discussed on how to help improve Africa’s agriculture sector. The two sides have discussed ways through which the think tank and Uruguay can work together so African countries can learn from the South American country’s successful experience and best practices in agriculture and related sectors. Mr. Pollack said the South American country would also want to learn from Africa’s experiences, especially regarding climate change mitigation. He said his country also hopes to benefit from the UNECA’s knowledge and strategic relationship with African Member States. Uruguay’s economy is characterized by an export-oriented agricultural sector and a well-educated work force in a country of 3.5 million people.
