Robert Dussey

Robert Dussey is the Foreign Affairs Minister of Togo. He is currently newsworthy due to his role in sponsoring a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly to adopt a new world map. This new map aims to more accurately represent the true scale of Africa, which is often visually exaggerated and centralized in Western nations on the traditional Mercator map. The resolution, backed by Togo and all 54 member states of the African Union, was voted on and endorsed by the UN General Assembly. This initiative signifies a broader effort to correct historical cartographic biases and provide a more equitable representation of the world's continents. Dussey's leadership in this diplomatic effort highlights Togo's commitment to advocating for African interests on the global stage.
