00:00As everybody knows, I think that nobody can really think to help the African continent
00:07simply accepting that hundreds of thousands of young African people pay traffickers to
00:17move towards Europe.
00:19That is why together with Nigeria and in partnership with the Global Partnership of Education we've
00:24launched a campaign to raise $5 billion and improve the education of 750 million children
00:32in different nations and, however, to build an Africa that is truly capable of competing
00:39on equal terms, we obviously cannot ignore the burden of debt that weighs on many of the
00:49nations of this continent.
00:51So Italy has also decided to reduce the debt of low- and middle-income countries by 50%
01:00over the next 10 years and, above all, to convert the entire debt of the least developed countries
01:09into investments planned for those countries, which is a choice I consider a choice of justice
01:17and responsibility that we hope others will follow.
01:21We believe this is the right path to take in order to build development and we can do it
01:30together with humility and, moreover, with respect for the others.
01:37I thank you.
01:38Thank you.
01:38You're welcome.
