Paris InfraWeek 2021

I am proud to host the fifth edition of the Paris InfraWeek in 2021. This post-pandemic edition of InfraWeek will address the role of infrastructure strategy in the global economic recovery and the roadmap for a new generation of quality infrastructure projects, aligned with Sustainable Development Goals. Infrastructure systems based on digital and technological solutions must be climate-friendly, resilient, socially inclusive, fiscally transparent and sustainable, all in line with the G20 Principles for Quality Infrastructure Investment. We must rise up to the challenge of such ambitious goals.This year, the Paris Summit for the Financing of African Economies, initiated by France, marked a step forward in that direction. You can count on the support of The European Union, France and I expect many other European countries and the broader international community in achieving these goals.
