Kagame attends EU-Africa summit
LISBON – President Paul Kagame is among 70 European and African leaders attending the EU-Africa summit in Lisbon-Portugal to forge a new partnership between the world’s largest trading bloc and its poorest continent. Leaders at the summit are discussing issues like immigration, trade, peace, human rights, development climate, change and security among others. EU member states have in the past raised concern over illegal migrants. Several thousand illegal migrants die every year trying to travel to Europe by sea, although the numbers making the perilous journey have fallen this year because of joint air and sea patrols.
