EU-Africa summit as an opportunity for t • Table.Briefings

The EU-Africa summit is intended to give new impetus to the partnership between the two continents. A broad range of topics also includes possible cooperation in the field of renewable energies. For example, Europe wants to promote the expansion of infrastructure with know-how and an investment offensive and, in return, import green hydrogen in particular. Observers warn not to lose sight of the population in the process.

Expectations are high ahead of the sixth summit between the African Union and the European Union, which begins today in Brussels under the French presidency. The two-day summit, which is expected to be attended by all 27 EU heads of government as well as some 40 heads of state from Africa, is intended to put relations between the two continents on a new footing and address pressing issues in the areas of security, health, digitization, and education as well as the energy transition and climate protection.
