PARIS (AP) - Rock star Bono urged French President Jacques Chirac to be ``a champion for Africa'' when he and other world leaders meet next week to discuss a new development plan for the continent.

Chirac has ``been in Africa more than any other politician,'' the U2 singer and activist said Thursday before meeting the French leader at the Elysee Palace.

``He has a passion for Africa and I want to turn his passion into cash,'' Bono said.
