About the Union
The international economic forum
The Afro-Asian Union for Finance and Business Affairs (AUFFA) is the international economic forum of the Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation (AAPSO) and a platform for effective investment exchange.
Where interests form the lasting alliance
In a world where political alliances shift faster than the weather, mutual interests remain the stable and lasting alliances, holding the upper hand in shaping these alliances. The Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation (AAPSO) serves as a neutral, independent, and sustainable platform for exchanging these interests, as it is an organisation that links the relations of peoples, corporations, and states through mutual benefit, rather than through political regimes alone.
An independent organisation of standing
The Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation, known by its acronym AAPSO, is an independent non-governmental international organisation with a prestigious historical standing. It operates as a neutral platform that serves the shared interests of its members across Africa, Asia, and beyond.
Mission, Vision and Values
Our Mission
We commit ourselves, our management, members, and staff to diligent and dedicated work to activate, stimulate, support, and adopt all ideas, research, studies, efforts, and relationships that contribute to achieving economic successes through sources, channels, and centres of expertise in finance, investment, and governmental and non-governmental development projects that contribute to greater security and economic and social growth in the countries where the Union's representatives and branches are located.
Our Vision
African and Asian societies deserve the attention and efforts commensurate with their rich human and natural resources, which make them both sources and destinations for international finance and investment. We at the Afro-Asian Union for Financial and Business Affairs believe that Africa and Asia are two continents with unique competitive advantages and strengths in the fields of investment and finance. This is especially true for countries rich in natural resources for production, manufacturing, mining, and efficient financial activity. They also possess a wealth of qualified human resources deserving of a better, richer, and easier life, everything that contributes to building more prosperous societies. The Union, with its branches, committees, and affiliated institutions, can add significant quality, excellence, and happiness to the peoples of the region and the world.
The Strategic Role
We collaborate intellectually and through research with specialised bodies and relevant authorities in the field of economic development, finance, and investment in order to improve the efficiency of investment systems and legislation, the effectiveness of projects, and to facilitate access to relevant information and financial support for various investments.
We adopt, support, and sponsor intellectual, scientific, and practical activities and efforts, ranging from research and studies to seminars, conferences, and workshops, whether conducted with governments, scientific institutions, or international and regional organisations. This collaboration aims to increase the availability of financial and investment opportunities and effectively contribute to the development of the communities in which we operate.
Through our offices and branches, we coordinate and organise educational and professional programmes and events that help to activate groups wishing to start and expand investment and motivate them to be more loyal and committed to positive thinking and hard work, to produce the elements of a more successful future, and to combat the negative ideas and behaviours that hinder the economic development of their communities.
We are working intensively to spread a culture of growth by understanding, learning, and facilitating dealings with financing systems for investment that develops the local and regional economy, and we urge individuals, institutions, and governments to make more effort and adopt everything that helps achieve the economic goals of their societies.
