“Working together”. This expression can resume the speeches delivered during the opening session of the Africa Forum on Business and Security. All speakers advocated the need to “come together”, “bridge differences” and reassert awareness of the interactions and interdependence that defines our globalized world.  More importantly, the panel advocated that the relationship between business and security is symbiotic and that only their combined efforts will ensure both development and security not just for Africa, but for every nation in the world.
