PARIS, France -- French President Jacques Chirac has promised U2 singer Bono that France's contribution in aid to poor countries will increase.
The Irish rock star, a staunch advocate of more generous aid and debt forgiveness for developing countries, last month went on a 12-day tour through Africa with U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, dubbed the "odd-couple tour."
"I'm here because he (Chirac) has a passion for Africa and I want to turn that passion into cash," the singer told Reuters before his meeting with the president at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Thursday.
