corruption remains a major issue in some developing countries. It cannot be
absent from the policy dialogue with our partner countries. It must be a very
central topic and our common responsibility is not to run away from the issue. Diplomacy
is no justification to ignore the fate of the populations that see their
economy being capture by a few members of the political leadership.

I had a long discussion about the matter and how it affects equitable growth
and the fight against poverty. The starting point was the current situation in
Zambia. And I was sad to note that I have seen better governance in that
country. And unfortunately, it is just an example.
