European Parliament Updates from the President

Address by Antonio Tajani, President of the European Parliament, at the African Union-European Union Summit 29-11-2017 02:56 AM CET I would like to begin by thanking President Ouattara for hosting this African Union‑European Union Summit here in Côte d'Ivoire. This meeting has come at a very important juncture. It rounds off a year of events focusing on Africa which began with the France–Africa Summit in Bamako. This was followed by the World Economic Forum on Africa in Durban, the European Development Days in Brussels and the G20 African Partnership Conference in Berlin.
