Does EU-AU Need More Summits To Stay Stronger Together?

From African News

Efforts to strengthen the relationship between the European Union and the African Union have been ongoing for several years. French President Macron, in his capacity as the current EU President, has plans of “completely overhauling” the EU-Africa relationship.

Perhaps one of the reasons for the ongoing EU African summit. Over the years similar summits have been held with the aim of ensuring that African perspectives are also prioritized in their relationship.

Four years ago, there was an African Europe alliance with ambitions of being a “coherent economic strategy for EU-Africa relations.” That union was intended to deliver on previous commitments for “strengthened economic and trade relations, through sustainable investment and job creation.”
