NN Week Celebration 2022: Picture highlights for International Maritime Conference with the theme, “Optimising Collaboration for Maritime Security and Socio-Economic Development in Africa”; which held at Onne, Port Harcourt.

The International Maritime Conference 2022 featured a meeting of African Naval Chiefs and Maritime Security experts to interrogate and agree on proposed modalities for fulfilling the requirements of the African Union Peace and Security Council (AU PSC) Communique 1012, in support of the 2050 African Integrated Maritime Strategy.

Essentially, the Conference seeks to look again at the Communique 1012 which was to establish Combined Maritime Task Forces among the navies of the GoG states and those along the Eastern/Southern coastlines as well as a Continental Maritime Advisory Council to be composed of the Heads of Navies and Coast Guards. For this reason, delegates to this year’s conference are not limited to GoG states only but also those of Eastern and Southern African nations.
