The Dutch Office will hold a climate summit, US media: European leaders will basically not attend

[Global Times special reporter in France] Dutch Rotterdam will hold a climate summit on September 5th. At that time, 7 African countries leaders will attend collectively.

It is reported that the Climate Summit was hosted by the Netherlands. The main topic of the meeting was to raise funds for climate issues in Africa developing countries. In November last year, at the United Nations Climate Summit held in Glasgow, the UK, developed European countries had promised African poverty -stricken countries that by 2025, it will double the funds that support the latter's climate projects to $ 40 billion per year. When the meeting was held, the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Lut, as the host, will attend. However, other invited European countries such as Finland, Norway, and France basically planned to send representatives to the Danish prime minister. Even the European Union Commission Chairman Feng Delin will not attend the summit, replacing her Vice Chairman of the Green Agreement, Vice Chairman Frank Timemans. In contrast, the distant African countries, Senegal, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Gabon, Congzong Democratic Republic and Zambia leaders not far away attended.

The Political News Network quoted the analysis of the European Foreign Relations Commission African Project Director of Africa Murphy that the collective absence of the EU's highest -level leaders in a stark contrast to the long journey with African leaders. Murphy said that the real reason behind this embarrassment is: "When their citizens face a severe cost of living costs, it is difficult for European leaders to persuade people to spend money on Africa's climate. The good time to raise funds that European people do not care about. "
