00:00 I am deeply honoured to participate in this discussion.
00:05 This summit is a crucial step to prepare the upcoming COP28 meeting and to make sure that
00:14 Africa's voice resonates around the world and that Africa's priorities as a continent
00:23 that is most affected by climate change are duly taken on board.
00:30 Today I am here not only to listen to you, but also to bring Europe's offer to be your
00:39 ally at COP28 and to work together on all issues on the agenda.
00:48 Because however different our two continents may look, we share the same interests when
00:55 it comes to climate action.
00:59 We hear you, President Ruto, and dear friends, when you say that Africa's first priority
01:06 is to grow your economy, yes, and lift as many people as possible out of poverty.
01:13 Yes, you're so right.
01:14 Thank you.
