\u201cThis strategy is definitely the strategy of the European Union to engage with like-minded partners in building sustainable infrastructure and connectivity around the world and this is the EU\u2019s offer for sustainable bonds in full partnership.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is extremely important for us because in the everyday more challenged world in which we live, not to speak about the geopolitical consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war or what\u2019s happening on Gaza.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at the same Forum, the European Union (EU) launched a 32 million Euros Special Measure on Manufacturing and Access to Vaccines, Medicines, and Health Technologies in Africa (MAV+) to support the development of vaccine manufacturing and the pharmaceutical industry in Ghana.<\/p>\n
