Security Talk Dominates at Elysée Summit

Heads of state and governments attending the Elysee Summit in Paris have reiterated their commitment to "collective security in Africa and to encouraging peace and promoting human rights, in line with the goals and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the Constitutive Act of the African Union".

Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Louise Mushikiwabo, speaks with French President Francois Hollande at the Elysée Summit in Paris. The summit, which took place two days after UN approval of French intervention in Central African Republic, was dominated by peace and security matters, though economic partnership and climate change were also on the table.
