The Central African Republic, climate change and trade topped talks in Brussels on Thursday as leaders met for day two of the EU-Africa summit. <br /><br />Europe is Africa’s biggest aid donor. Since 2007 it has given 140 billion euros.<br /><br />But leaders stressed efforts to build more sustainable partnerships, notably in areas such as agriculture and energy. <br /><br />The summit was overshadowed by Chad’s decision to pull its peacekeeping mission out of the Central African Republic in protest over claims its troops had aided rebels. <br /><br />Chad has contributed roughly 850 soldiers to the 6,000 strong African Union force stationed in the war-torn country. <br /><br />They have been accused of siding with Muslim rebels whose seizure of power last year sparked a wave of religious violence.
