- Title: Ethiopia: Oau Meeting
- Date: 1st May 1973
- Summary: In May, the Heads of State of some 40 African countries began arriving at Addis Ababa to take part in celebrations marking the tenth anniversary of the Organisation of African Unity. Addis Ababa Airport was to witness a seemingly endless succession of formal welcoming ceremonies as each dignitary arrived. Like the formal sessions on the programme, exhibitions and other functions reviewed the activities and achievements of the OAU. The Heads of State adopted a political declaration drafted by OAU Ministerial Council, and another on Pan-African co-operation in world economic affairs, drawn up earlier by their Trade and Finance Ministers. The celebrations were officially opened by Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie. NOTE: Date is approximate. This clip may contain footage from multiple events; exact date or dates may be unknown.
