President Kufuor returns from
EU/Africa summit
Accra, Dec. 12, Ghanadot/GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor
returned home late Tuesday from Lisbon, Portugal, where he
attended a summit of African leaders and the European Union
(EU).
Briefing newsmen on arrival, Mr Andrew Awuni, presidential
spokesman, said a declaration was made at the summit to
create a new relationship between Africa and Europe, based
on partnership of mutual gains.
This would replace the old situation where the West serves
as donors to African countries.
Mr Awuni said a joint strategic plan was adopted which
called for the commitment of all leaders to the core values
of rule of law, such as democracy and human rights.
President Kufuor and Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates
co-chaired the summit.
