Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>President Paul Kagame has said that there is no way to build sustainable peace and security, both within and between Europe and Africa without putting governance at the centre. The head of state shared the remarks at the ongoing Europe-Africa summit in Belgium on Thursday February 17.<\/p>\n

Kagame was participating in a roundtable discussion on peace, security and governance where leaders discussed the need for a new approach towards addressing security challenges and achieving sustainable peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood politics and governance are like a healthy human body. Where governance is compromised, it is like having a weak immune system which is vulnerable to all kinds of opportunistic infections or attacks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The head of state added that both continents can\u2019t afford to stand aside and watch when lives of innocent civilians are at risk. \u201cEurope\u2019s stability is also at stake. We are neighbours and the threats are transnational and cross-border.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need new thinking and new templates for joint action on counterterrorism and peace support operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

A meaningful relationship<\/b><\/p>\n

According to President Kagame, there is need for a relationship between the European Union and the African Union that is meaningful and produces concrete results.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need each other, and that means working as full partners.\u201d Each conflict has its own context but there are tangible results to point to, he highlighted.<\/p>\n

But, \u201cA more predictable and sustainable international financing system for bilateral and regional military interventions is needed.\u201d However, the head of state pointed out that no amount of troops or funding can create sustainable peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must simultaneously address the shortfalls in governance, which are the root cause of insecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA blended bilateral and multilateral approach is a flexible formula that is well-suited to our present challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ongoing summit, which is the 6th edition gives European and African leaders the opportunity to lay the foundations for a renewed and deeper partnership, according to officials.<\/p>\n

During this year\u2019s meeting, the leaders are expected to launch an ambitious Global Gateway Africa-Europe Investment Package, to step up investments in infrastructure, healthcare and education, taking into account global challenges, such as climate change and the current health crisis. The EU-AU Summits take place traditionally every three years, alternating between Africa and Europe.<\/p>\n
