The Head of the European Union Delegation to Egypt, Ambassador Christian Berger, commented on the upcoming EU-AU summit in Brussels as follows:
“The summit will present a unique opportunity to lay the foundations for a renewed and deeper EU-AU partnership with the highest political involvement and based on trust and a clear understanding of mutual interests. With a view to greater prosperity, the aim is to launch an ambitious Africa-Europe Investment Package, taking into account global challenges such as climate change and the current health crisis. The Leaders will also be talking about tools and solutions to promote stability and security . Egypt plays an important role in African Affairs, and the active participation of President Al Sisi himself in this key Summit is a further demonstration. Egypt will also have a key global role later on as host of COP 27.”
