Vor politik overfor u-landene må ses i en større sammenhæng

Forfatter billede

U-landene påvirkes ikke kun af bistanden og den udviklingspolitik vi fører, men også af hvordan vi agerer på områder som sikkerhedspolitik og handelspolitik. Hvordan kan Danmark være med til at sikre, at især EUs politik på forskellig vis ikke underminerer udviklingssamarbejdet?

Det behandles onsdag d. 10. april i Udenrigsministeriet i København på et offentligt seminar, hvor også tænketanken ECDPM vil præsentere et studie af, hvorledes denne problemstilling behandles i andre af EUs 27 medlemslande.

Der er begrænset antal pladser til seminaret, skriver udenrigsministeriet i en presseudsendelse mandag.

Tilmelding skal derfor ske til e-mail: [email protected] og SENEST 5. april.
