Closing Statement at the Africa-Europe Summit

"For two days, the leaders of Africa and Europe have been engaged in a serious, profound and frank dialogue which marks a new beginning in the history of the relationship between our two societies. The fact that so many leaders from the two regions came to Cairo to attend this first ever Summit augurs well for the future of our relationship and for the solid and constructive partnership we want to build together." - Dr. Salim, April 4, 2000
