The 6th European Union-African Union summit kicks off in Brussels. Security, health and stability are the three challenges of this two-day meeting which should define the new Africa-Europe partnership.
The countries of the European Union and the African Union began a two-day summit on Thursday aimed at intensifying relations between the two blocs in areas such as transport, energy, agriculture, security and health. The meeting, which brings together the leaders of the 27 EU member states and some 40 leaders of African Union countries, began at around 3pm Brussels time (14:00 GMT) with an opening ceremony.
Discussions are to be held around seven round tables to “avoid a litany of speeches in a long plenary session without results” and “lively exchanges” are expected, summit organisers said.
