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.

Mr President, allow me first to thank you for receiving me in this prestigious institution. The Parliamentary Summit, held in this building, finished yesterday, and the Summit of Heads of State will begin this afternoon. As President of the European Parliament it is important for me to have this opportunity to address you, for your institution symbolises the fact that Côte d'Ivoire is a democratic and diverse country. Your country is an important partner of the European Union.

I would like to begin by thanking the Ivoirian authorities for their welcome and for making it possible for us to meet here. I would also like to thank you, colleagues from the African and European Parliaments, for your participation and your contributions to African Week and the high-level conference organised last week in the European Parliament.
