Bono is writing a daily blog from the Millennium Development Goals summit in New York for The Financial Times.
So far, the U2 singer has written about why he thinks Europe needs Africa, as well as why aid should be seen as “a leg-up, not a hand-out”.
He also revealed details of a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
He said: “Sarko is a real physical presence in a room. He might even be taller than me…animated, funny one minute; annoyed the next.”
The Millennium Development Goals are set out by 189 United Nations member states. The eight separate goals aim improve international development by 2015.
Writing on the blog, Bono said that he wants to meet with US Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama in the near future.

I´m wondering if Bono knows anything about what is going on, in the Central American Country of Honduras?
I'm more than sure that he would have an assertive comment regarding the oust of President Zelaya,because of an illegal referendum he insisted on doing. He is now flying all over the world in a jet provided by Chavez from Venezuela,spending more of our money. trying to make a case. He is facing 18 curruption charges in Honduras. While the OAS has expelled us from that organization without hearing the other version of accounts.
We are a Democracy,Peace loving nation. And the mayority of us are glad he is out, in spite of the fact that Peace talks are under way, but he has issued an ultimatum…???? No one wants him back. Can´t anyone let our voice be heard? We dont want to be another Venezuela.
