Conte vows to renew drive for EU change

(ANSA) - Niamey, January 16 - Premier Giuseppe Conte said during a visit to Chad on Wednesday that he intends to renew his drive to get the European Union to do more for Africa as part of a strategy to stem the flow of migrants.
    "I'll be the ambassador of Chad and the Sahel so that they get more attention from the EU," Conte said.
    "I have repeated this many times at European Councils and I will not tire of driving for renewal of the EU institutions.
    "We have to make the Trust Fund for Africa larger. Its resources are absolutely inadequate.
    "If Europe continues with this shortsightedness, it will keep hurting itself. "Italy wants to change Europe so that it is stronger, fairer and shows more solidarity".
