Paris Club Creditors agreed in principle to meet in order to examine the situation of Djibouti's debt under the Evian Approach at the end of the Agreement. They will assess the sustainability of Djibouti's debt and Djibouti's commitment to policies that will secure an exit from the Paris Club and to implementing a comparable treatment from its other external creditors.

Based on that assessment and if Djibouti fulfils the criteria here above mentioned and provided that Djibouti has established a satisfactory track-record under the Agreed Minutes, made all payments on due date, and concluded a follow-up IMF programme, Paris Club creditors expressed their willingness to consider a debt treatment under the Evian Approach on terms tailored to Djibouti's debt situation.
