Fol­low­ing his meet­ing to­day with Togo's State Pres­i­dent Gnass­ingbé, Min­is­ter Gerd Müller said:

'Togo is an an­chor of sta­bil­ity in West Africa, and must re­main so. That is why we want to help cre­ate bet­ter prospects for the peo­ple liv­ing there through bet­ter vo­ca­tional ed­u­ca­tion and train­ing, bet­ter agri­cul­tural yields, and bet­ter con­di­tions for in­vest­ments in Togo's econ­omy.'

Müller, who was vis­it­ing Lomé to­day, pledged to scale up de­vel­op­ment co­op­er­a­tion be­tween Ger­many and Togo. The Ger­man gov­ern­ment will in­vest an ad­di­tional 6.5 mil­lion eu­ros in mea­sures to in­no­vate agri­cul­tural meth­ods and to fight hunger in Togo.
