It is time to become operational,\u201d the EU president said. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Von der Leyen said this is the first time Europe is having a global investment strategy, \u201cand never before have we put on the table such a sizable and ambitious package with Africa. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will work together as of tomorrow to develop strategic projects with transformative impact,\u201d she added. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Global Gateway African investment package, Ms Von der Leyen said the EU will prioritise infrastructure, with a focus on energy, digital and transport interconnection. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur objectives are greater access to electricity through the expansion of regional power grids, and the development of hydrogen capacity. Greater internet access via submarine cables linking Europe and Africa, and terrestrial cables across Africa\u2019s regions,\u201d she noted. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumtimesng.com\/news\/top-news\/512585-eu-au-summit-eu-announces-development-focus-in-africa.html\">More=PremiumTimes= \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-40721\" data-postid=\"40721\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-40721 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union will focus on three key areas of infrastructure, health and education in a \u201csizable and ambitious package\u201d of support for Africa in the coming years. &nbsp;
