If the European Union does not speed up its activities in Africa during the next period, it will be outpaced by other countries of the world, stated Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD) on Tuesday as part of the EU-Africa Forum held in Vienna, Austria. As he added, China has been engaged in activities on the dark continent and other global states are following China's example. The Slovak premier stressed that Africa had seen a significant increase in GDP - more than 3 percent this year. The premier also said that Slovakia had been active in many African countries in the form of development aid, but the time was coming "when we'll be able to offer these countries our analyses and our experts if they are interested".
