On Monday 30 January 2023, the National Assembly of the Union of Comoros opened its first extraordinary session of the year 2023. One of the main issues tabled for discussion was the approval of a bill authorising the President of the Union of the Comoros to ratify the Agreement on the Establishment of the Continental African Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). This bill was unanimously adopted on 6 February, after the Foreign Relations Commission of the National Assembly concluded the audition of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who illustrated the advantages for Comoros to join the Agreement in an audition held on 31 January, summarizing them in two concepts: 1) increase in the volume of trade with other African nations and 2) opportunity to stimulate export diversification in Comoros.
