Europe-Africa: What Chance for the EU New Strategy?

From

To

29
8:00 pm October 2020

Karim El Aynaoui, President of the Policy Center, will take part in an online roundtable organized by Istituto per gli studi di politica internazionale (ISPI) to discuss the European Union strategy with Africa. 

How does the proposed partnership innovate the current frameworks of relations between the two continents? How does it relate to the interests and policies of individual European countries? Is the proposed EU strategy in line with African states’ own priorities? And what could be Africa’s possible responses?

The participants of the roundtable will reflect on the "Comprehensive strategy with Africa" draft proposed by the European Commission and the High Representative, before its finalization during the European Union - African Union summit, which has been postponed to 2021 due to the current global crisis.
