AU-EU relations The AU and the EU have committed to build a different kind of partnership and move beyond traditional North-South cooperation, but more so on paper than in practice. Our AU-EU relations team explores how both parties can create a mutually beneficial and interest-driven partnership – in times of COVID-19 and beyond.

Topics we look at include:

The institutional setups of the AU and the EU
Summits, strategies and dialogues relating to the partnership
Common and diverging African and European priorities – with a focus on green and digital transition, sustainable growth and jobs, peace and security, health, governance, and migration and mobility
The partnership agreement between the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and the EU and how it complements or competes with the AU-EU partnership
