French President Emmanuel Macron says, "...Next the IMF, we expect some greater commitments by the emerging countries when it comes to restructuring the debt of African countries. We stand ready to do more. And we said it today. So it is the very same agenda, greater financing, mobilization around the world. France upgraded its commitments and we reached 0.5% of our GDP allocated to development projects. And we also want the same to happen at the international level. And this is the reason why we're committed to the replenishment of IFAD- The International Fund for Agricultural Development. And the meeting will be taking place in December. And I would like to thank President Alvaro Lario of IFAD for being with us today..."
