Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

There has been progress both on establishing the peacekeeping force in Africa, which is part of the work of the United Nations, and on trying to ensure that the EU has the strategic capability to assist any such progress. The declaration specifically on Africa, which recommitted us to the millennium development goals, was an important part of the statement. There is also a desire to hold the EU-Africa summit, if we can overcome some of the difficulties that have been experienced with it in the past.
