Kagame Does Not Joke Tells Europe that Africa Doesn't Need Adult Supervision but Fair Trade

welcome to the african leadership series where we bring you great inspirational speeches from african leaders excellencies they are friends from europe and africa and i see many friends there europeans and africans need to understand each other better that's why dialogue like the one today is very important in terms of a common understanding of governance the attitude of our direct supervision has to be left in the past examples of right or wrong conduct can be found everywhere we must avoid the temptation to reduce africa to the lowest common denominator with blanket judgments and generalizations there cannot be a mutually respectful partnership premised on the unspoken assumption that one party lacks values or has defective values while the other party is a fully formed moral agent the conflicts of politics history and context and public opinion in every country requires a sensitive understanding and a willingness to genuinely listen learn and adapt we are not talking about excusing wrongdoing or abusing the principle of sovereignty to evade responsibility and there are some who do so it is about dialogue respect and a commitment to the more robust partnership which both africa and europe need in order to prevail over the challenges of the 21st century together for africa europe is a pattern of choice for many reasons i believe that next year's summit is the right time to demonstrate the readiness for change and progress on both sides this is a place where different voices from either side can be heard and factored into the thinking on the future of our nations this includes some important perspectives that are rarely considered which if i may we'll get to in a moment in africa we are engaging with europe with a view toward taking the relationship to a higher level and making sure it is adapted to the times we live in today for one thing africa has assets and capabilities to offer to their partnership both human and material let's not ask what can be done for africa the guiding question should be what can europe and africa do together for mutual benefit which neither can accomplish alone we aim to change the terms of engagement on trade and investment the african continental free trade area is now entering the implementation phase this opens up new opportunities for more attractive cooperation with the partners who are invested in africa's prosperity it is therefore important to ensure that the space to proper and fully implement the cfta is respected we wish to negotiate the future trading rules on a continent-to-continental basis not in a fragmented or haphazard manner we look forward to the new africa europe foundation and this distinguished group of personalities playing an important role in the process including the business leaders who are involved i thank you so very much for your attention if you like informative and educational videos on africa make sure to like subscribe and read the notification bell to catch all our latest videos
