The Assembly,

Believing that the economic advancement of both Africa and Europe is a task of the utmost urgency, which can be achieved only by the closest co-operation of the two continents ;

Noting the various proposals that have been made on the subject both elsewhere and in this Assembly ;

Stressing that all measures taken must be in accordance with the wishes of the peoples most directly concerned,

Recommends that the Committee of Ministers convene a series of Conferences in Strasbourg under the auspices of the Council of Europe, in which the elected representatives of the peoples of Africa and representatives of European countries would be invited to study the best ways and means for the co-operative development of their countries.
