The European Commission has proposed closer trade relations with Africa

The European Commission has proposed a strong “Africa-Europe Alliance” to significantly increase investment in Africa, boost trade, invest in job creation and invest in education and skills development.

According to the Commission’s information, the package of proposals is based on commitments made by the European Union and the African Union in Abidjan in November last year, where the two continents agreed to define the measures needed for a more effective economic schedule. (MTI)
