There have been a number of high-level visits recently by Minister Hussein to Benin, DRC, Rwanda, Kenya, Zambia, Mozambique and Madagascar. Minister Sajjan has gone to Rwanda, Tanzania and Egypt. Minister Ng had a virtual trade mission in February 2022. Minister Joly was in Kenya earlier, and there have been a number of high-level visits of parliamentarians and parliamentary secretaries and speakers. There is a high level of engagement and I agree that high-level engagement is an important component of engaging with Africa.
