The Africa-EU Strategic Partnership: Joint Africa-EU Strategy and Action Plan

The Lisbon Summit, which brought together the European Union and Africa in Lisbon during the past weekend, has offered a unique opportunity to address the common contemporary challenges for both continents, in the year that we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the European integration and the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the independence of Africa. The results of the summit come under a Joint Strategy and Action Plan. The purpose of this Joint Strategy is to take the Africa-EU relationship to a new, strategic level with a strengthened political partnership and enhanced cooperation at all levels.
