Macron Pledges “Win-Win Partnerships” in Africa
Macron shared these views following a meeting with Gabonese President Brice Oligui Nguema in Libreville, marking the third stop on his current African tour.
Reflecting on his previous statements in Burkina Faso at the end of 2017 during his first term, Macron reiterated his belief in a renewed form of cooperation with Africa, describing it as “in a relationship that is respectful, where we must be exemplary to each other and where situations must lead to win-win partnerships.”
He added that “Africa can no longer be a continent of simple resource extraction,” stressing the need to develop innovative models of collaboration across sectors such as energy and infrastructure.
Commending Gabon’s political transition, Macron expressed his pleasure in returning to the country and recalled the 2023 coup that brought Nguema to power as a significant milestone in Gabonese history.
“You opened a new era based on renewal, inclusiveness, and the plurality of opinions that our two countries deeply share. And it is for this reason that France has, from the very beginning, supported the transition,” Macron stated.
He also emphasized that security remains a longstanding cornerstone of France-Gabon relations.
