透明公正なアフリカ開発促す　ウクライナ情勢「深刻な懸念」―チュニス宣言採択・ＴＩＣＡＤ閉幕

　日本主導でアフリカへの支援や投資について議論する第８回アフリカ開発会議（ＴＩＣＡＤ８）が２８日、「チュニス宣言」を採択して閉幕した。中国の途上国への過剰融資を念頭に、透明で公正な開発金融の重要性を強調。ロシアの侵攻が続くウクライナ情勢がアフリカや世界経済に与える影響に「深刻な懸念」を表明した。
　岸田文雄首相は閉会後の共同記者会見にオンライン形式で参加し、「ロシアによるウクライナ侵略により引き起こされた食料危機や、不公正・不透明な開発金融といった課題への対応が急務だ」と訴えた。（2022/08/29-00:37）

The eighth Tokyo International Conference on African Development, or TICAD 8, ended Sunday with the adoption of a statement underlining the importance of fair and transparent development financing for Africa.
   This reference in the Tunis declaration came at a time when China is extending excessive loans to developing nations.
   The declaration also expressed serious concern over the impacts on Africa and the global economy of the crisis in Ukraine, which continues to be invaded by Russia.
   "We need to urgently tackle challenges including the food crisis triggered by Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and unfair and opaque development financing," Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told a joint press conference held after the end of the two-day meeting in the Tunisian capital of Tunis.
   Kishida refrained from visiting Tunis due to his infection with the novel coronavirus and took part in TICAD 8 virtually from Tokyo. He attended the press conference online.
