00:00It is the simple premise that drives Italy's actions, both at home and, obviously, internationally,
00:09particularly with regard to the African continent.
00:13We have implemented this through the MATEI Plan, an investment program in African countries
00:22that outlines a strategy of cooperation, but cooperation among equals.
00:30Built on a clear vision, to help create the structural conditions for the development of production chains,
00:38strong local businesses, and stable and dignified employment in African nations.
00:44So that Africa can grow and prosper by processing its resources, cultivating its land, and making the most of its
00:56human capital.
00:57In this process, collaboration with the World Bank has been, and continues to be, increasingly central.
01:08With President Banga, whom I really would like to sincerely thank for his clarity and readiness in working together,
01:17we've engaged in an intense and concrete dialogue from the outset.
01:23We share a fundamental approach to this common goal, putting the private sector at the center of development,
01:32mobilizing capital, reducing investment risk, and strengthening the institutional capacity of partner nations.
01:41Thank you very much.
01:41Thank you.
01:41Grazie.
