  • African France Summit

    2010 France-Africa summit seeks business and economic boost
    French President Nicolas Sarkozy recently hosted the Africa-France summit for the first time and was attended by countries outside the Francophone Africa. Zambia's President Rupiah Banda was among the Thirty-eight African leaders and 250 business executives that attended the summit in Nice. African countries demanded a bigger say in the UN Security Council and the G20 forum, so there will be some discussion of how that might be achieved. Piracy, terrorism and climate change got the prime billing but business was the linchpin at the two-day summit between France and African leaders. In Picture, President Banda greets his French counterpart Nicholas Sarkozy during the summit in Nice.
