natural spectacle in an improved world. the return of the spiky yellow with louse will ensure the survival of the entire ecosystem. one of the many success stories from a bastion of biodiversity, st. helena starts may 20th on d, w with a miss o p line and you're attending a d 7 development ministers meeting here in billing. what is your main take away from this? we have very constructive a good meeting and several very timely topics we discussed on i would say that the main message is that even though the ukrainian war or war
1:17 am
in ukraine is taking place in europe, the crisis is and that's why we cannot turn our back to the rest of the board because we see that the consequences of the war are very, very serious. for instance, in the global south are turning the back on the global south. now, no, we are not. and that's very important to tell also to our partners in the global south taking into account for instance, food security and food crisis, which is a huge challenge. for instance, in the horn of africa or in the south and part of in africa. we are giving us the european union as a team, europe, so commission and the member states of 1000000000 euros, mainly humanitarian assistance that those regions so that they can really buy more
1:18 am
food and they are able to feed their citizens. that's not the only action we are taking. we are also investing in the food production capacities in africa because africa import 80 percent of the food in the future. so africa, for instance, as a continent is very dependent on the import. and that's why we also want to strengthen the capacity of production capacity in africa. and, and i am personally from loading some of our you developing cooperation finance and so that we can support food, sustainable food, awkward systems in our pocket. you just mentioned that dependence of several african countries when it comes to imports. it is belief that nearly 25000000 tons of grains are in ukraine. what are you trying to do to get this food out of the international market? yeah, well of course we also tried to,
1:19 am
to work with ukraine so that we could still export the food which is still exist in the ukraine. so this is the 1st target we are, we are working on. then the 2nd one is that we are working with the humanitarian organization in order to provide humanitarian assistance, especially to the horn of africa, but also to do the sa health at the southern part of file and also late charge region. and then like i said, it's always of course, important to, to act rapidly and look at the current crisis. but i think it's also at the same time, important to, to, to have this kind of a mid term perspective. how would you define that relationship between the european union in africa? is it a relationship on either side, on a level or is it still europe telling africa how they should produce things?
1:20 am
how they should import probably should export. i would define our partnership as equal and mutual partnerships. so we definitely mainly we share the same values, most of the african citizens. they try for democracy lou flow and also respect of human rights. but at the same time, africa also share the same challenges as we are facing in terms of climate change, but also digitalization. and that's why we, the european union adopted a new global gateway strategy in, in december where we wanted to really support creed and digital transition globally. but our main focus is, of course, in africa, you said that the relationship is equally mutual. do you think that your african
1:21 am
counterparts in that as well? there has been criticism that usually when you it's helping it's also a lot of value based not with for example, chinese also increasing their influence in africa. do you think that there should be some way approach or some mistakes that were made by european union institution regarding africa? i think it's quite clear that everything the european union is doing is based on, on the values we represent. because for me, the european union is the community of values. so that's why, for instance, this global gateway strategy and all those investments we are trying to accelerate through the global gateway strategy are very much linked to the values. how i see the strategy. it's a positive offer to our partner countries in deplorable south, not only africa globally, really to, to accelerate investments in energy,
1:22 am
but also to agriculture transport digital and also soft infrastructure like health and education. so we are, you know, combining those investments to high quality standards in terms of environment and also social standards and, and also to all values. so i think, i think this global gateway strategy, at least the feedback i have received from the global thought is the strategy is very much appreciated. you spoke about values and as many western countries are trying to decrease the dependence to russian, all the heading to other countries with dia, human rights records like history, like iran, like saudi arabia, katara. are you concerned about this development? well, i think it's very understandable that because of the war and the train, we really want to decrease our dependence on the russian energy and fossil fuels.
1:23 am
i think it's necessary really to create new new partnerships also in terms of energy. how i see the partnership is that if you have a real partnership e for partnership, then you can also raise difficult topics to your discussions and tables. so of course, i personally hope that even though we are creating a new contracts in terms of energy with different partners globally, we can also, you know, define that. we can also raise those value value based topics to those in those discussions with them as well. i think that should have been after the partnerships, the 1st, the business, the economy to see when it comes to energy and then race of topics are making a condition to go into a partnership. i think at least from my own experience, i think you can do it but a little. so you can,
1:24 am
you can have your own interest. you can also, you know, prom, promote your own strategy interest. and this is of course, part of the global gateway. we see that also as strategy, interest of the european union and europe, but on the same time, you can also all discuss on values and where and what are the values the partnership is based on. so i think you can do both german development minutes, the financial accused russia of using and hunger as a weapon. do you agree with that? unfortunately, one can really into have this kind of invitation because as we've already discussed or a little bit earlier, we see that there is a lot of food in the store h's in ukraine. and ukraine is not able to export. and
1:25 am
at the same time, people are starving, for instance, in africa, but also in the middle east in some countries, because they also dependent on, on the food import. so i think my main message and, and also thinking is that we should try to in that war in ukraine as soon as possible. i think, i think that's, that's the, the benefit of people in ukraine, of course, because they are the ones who are suffering the most. but that's also the benefit of the global citizens in the global south. because we see that every day of this war is causing more and more suffer. also in the global side, i'd like to ask you about g 20 because russia is not part of 87, but is part of the wider group of the g 20. do you think that that is a mistake in many countries that are part of the g one you're asking for russia to
1:26 am
be excluded? well, historically, russia has been part of the g 20, and russia has been part of their different international organization as well. my, my understanding is that russia is probably going to participate in that she's 20 meeting. we'll see that in the autumn. what kind of consequences it might cause. i think it's still something different. she 20 members are discussing on but my personal wish is that hopefully we could end this war sooner than later. so that then we could also be in the new new situation, but also relating to my own portfolio. we plan to have a cheese 20 development minutes, just meeting in indonesia in september, and as far as i'm informed,
1:27 am
also russia is going to participate in it. do you think that's problematic? well, like i said, my wishes that by the september the war would be over so that we are then in the new situation. and, and then the question, is that what, how will the world look like after the war? my personal wish is that i don't want to see the world to be divided to the west against the rest. and i think this is russia's approach. russia really tried to spread this information in africa, and i think we have to be very clear in no own narrative that for instance, the food crisis in africa is not because of our sanction. it's because of the russians oppression in ukraine. so they started this war and now we
1:28 am
see the consequences of that. you mentioned the end of the war in ukraine. do you think that after that russia could, once again be considered a partner for european union? i think we still have a long way to go in order to see that day. but i personally, like i said, i believe in multilateralism. i believe in the rule based order. i think that's also the benefit of the european union. i would like to see this multiple worlds where we don't only have like 2 or 3 super powers competing each other. and from that perspective, of course, i would really like to see a multilateral system where different superpowers and actors of the world can also be part of. but like i said, we still have a long way to go in order to see that day. because now of course, we are in the middle of the war. the main message is that russia has to end this
