EU to Africa: 'We're not Only Interested in Extracting Resources'
The European Union said Tuesday it is "not only interested in extracting resources" from Africa but rather "we want to partner with you to create jobs here in Africa" at the continent’s first climate change summit underway in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also spoke of the 27-nation bloc’s commitment to help Africa tackle climate change, offering what she said presents win-win opportunities for both continents. “We're not only interested in extracting resources. We want to partner with you to create local value chains, to create good jobs here in Africa. We want to share European technology with you,” she said.
