PRESIDENT OBAMA: First of all, our commitment to Africa is based on our belief in Africa's

To-infinitive

promise and Africa's future, and we want to be part of that future. Second of all, I think

everybody should be involved in Africa. (Applause.) I want China and I want India and I want Brazil,

and I want Singapore -- everybody, come on down -- (laughter) -- to Africa because 6

of the 10-fastest growing economies in the world are right here in Africa. (Applause.)

You are seeing a shift inside of Africa in which a commitment to democracy and transparency

is beginning to take hold. I just visited Senegal, where President Sall has embarked

on a reform agenda, including, by the way, shortening his term from seven years to five

years, and a belief that, for example, members who join the government need to disclose their

assets -- just basic measures that can help to root out corruption.
