The Speaker of the Algerian Parliament, Azouz Nasri, has arrived in Accra to take part in a high-level international conference focused on advancing the implementation of a landmark United Nations resolution on the trafficking of enslaved Africans.
He was received at the Jubilee Lounge of Kotoka International Airport by the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Bernard Ahiafor.
The three-day “Next Steps High-Level Consultative Conference,” scheduled from June 17 to 19, 2026, will bring together political leaders, policymakers, academics, civil society groups and other stakeholders from around the world.
The conference is expected to examine the implications of the landmark United Nations resolution for Africans and people of African descent around the world, while also identifying practical steps for its implementation.
Participants will also explore ways to strengthen global advocacy and build a coordinated framework to advance the resolution’s objectives.
The gathering forms part of wider international efforts to confront the historical legacy of the transatlantic slave trade and promote justice, recognition and development for communities affected by the trafficking of enslaved Africans.
Ghana is hosting the conference as part of its ongoing participation in global discussions on reparatory justice for historical injustices and the promotion of the welfare and rights of people of African descent worldwide.
