“Even today we focused on a central issue for Africa, that of debt. As we know, we have launched a broad debt conversion initiative for joint development projects. To this we add today debt suspension clauses for nations affected by extreme climate events”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this in joint statements with the president of the African Union Commission Mohammed Ali Youssouf, and the president of the African Union and president of Angola Joao Lourenco, at the end of the second Italy-Africa summit in Addis Ababa.
