Vice\u00a0Minister Emanuela Del Re\u00a0met, in\u00a0VTC,\u00a0with Teresa Ribeiro, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Portugal,\u00a0to discuss\u00a0relations between the EU and Africa and cooperation activities in that continent, in view of the\u00a0forthcoming\u00a0six months of the Portuguese Presidency of the EU Council that will\u00a0kick off\u00a0on 1 January.\u00a0Secretary\u00a0Ribeiro\u00a0and\u00a0Vice Minister\u00a0Del Re\u00a0highlighted the common interest of Italy and Portugal in an ever-increasing European\u00a0role in Africa.\u00a0They also discussed\u00a0the current situation\u00a0in Mozambique.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Italy fully supports the objective of deepening our relations with the Continent and strengthening the partnership with African countries according to\u00a0the priorities outlined in the conclusions of the latest European Council”\u00a0–\u00a0was\u00a0the\u00a0Vice\u00a0Minister’s opening remark.\u00a0Among them, as co-president of the\u00a0forthcoming\u00a0COP26, Italy appreciates the\u00a0focus\u00a0on environmental issues.\u00a0Secretary\u00a0Ribeiro\u00a0and\u00a0Vice Minister\u00a0Del Re stressed\u00a0the global importance of debt service suspension, “a\u00a0consideration\u00a0that will be at the centre of the agenda of the next Italian Presidency of the G20” the\u00a0Vice Minister added.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“We are confident that the Portuguese Presidency of the EU will continue to\u00a0pursue\u00a0closer\u00a0relations with the continent and the conclusion of the post-Cotonou\u00a0agreement” –\u00a0Ms.\u00a0Del Re\u00a0declared\u00a0– “Africa is an area of crucial importance for Italian Development Cooperation. Our actions are inspired by the principles of\u00a0the\u00a0UN’s\u00a02030\u00a0Agenda and\u00a0the African Union’s 2063\u00a0Agenda, paying particular attention to local priorities and national development plans, in constant dialogue with\u00a0the\u00a0local authorities. Long-term crises can no longer be tackled by emergency responses alone, we must strive to act with an integrated approach between the humanitarian, development and peace dimensions in order to address the root causes of\u00a0the\u00a0crises”.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There must be a special focus on\u00a0agri-food systems, which are proving central to most African economies. Italy’s commitment in this field is demonstrated by the establishment of\u00a0the Food Coalition at the Rome\u00a0Centre of the United Nations,\u00a0which is\u00a0responsible for providing all governments with guidelines for action in a pandemic. The promotion of gender equality and the emancipation of all women and girls are key\u00a0elements of Italy’s development cooperation strategies and actions.\u00a0Ms.\u00a0Del Re therefore insisted on the need to involve the private sector and\u00a0the\u00a0African diasporas in Europe in development cooperation activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vice\u00a0Minister Emanuela Del Re\u00a0met, in\u00a0VTC,\u00a0with Teresa Ribeiro, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Portugal,\u00a0to discuss\u00a0relations between the EU and Africa and cooperation activities in that continent, in view of the\u00a0forthcoming\u00a0six months of the Portuguese Presidency of the EU Council that will\u00a0kick off\u00a0on 1 January.\u00a0Secretary\u00a0Ribeiro\u00a0and\u00a0Vice Minister\u00a0Del Re\u00a0highlighted the common interest of Italy and […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[31,29,42,399],"class_list":["post-1512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comunicati","tag-africa","tag-cooperazione-sviluppo","tag-unione-europea","tag-vice-ministri-e-sottosegretari-precedenti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
