Another interesting take is that @vonderleyen mentioned expanding the goals of global gateway that are showing promise in Africa and Latin America. We need to work together with our global partners to build resilient economic relations. We need to investment more. #SOTEU

Very engaging workshop. Many good points discussed. My main takeaway: we can only turn the EU-Africa relationship into a real partnership if we change approach drastically. Starting with how we look at- and speak about migration. Thank you @anna_katharinak @ProfesseurPier1

Africa is a very important continent for the EU. Expanding our strategic partnership, empowering women and youth, and contributing to economic growth in Africa is what the EU must actively contribute to. Good to have a hearing in @EP_Trade on the future of EU-Africa relations!

Samira Rafaela (D66) ma 24 jan 2022, 17:05

Thank you minister @franckriester for your exchange with @EP_Trade today on the trade priorities of the @Europe2022FR.

Good to hear your priorities on advancing the EU's partnership with Africa, especially the economic position of women and youth in international trade.

Thank you minister @franckriester for the invitation to participate in the #PFUE conference on EU-Africa trade relations.

The EU and Africa must work together to advance common goals in 2022. Inclusive, green and fair trade and investment relations can benefit both continents.

We need to vaccinate the world.

Only 6% of people in Africa are fully vaccinated. The EU cannot accept that our twin continent is left behind. We must do more as EU to assist countries in getting vaccines to people.

Expanding production and distribution is key. My speech👇🏽

The US is no longer blocking the TRIPS waiver. It is time for the @EU_Commission and Member States to follow. Especially in Africa, the need for speeding up vaccination is crucial. Together with @MChahim, I’ve asked questions to the Commission. Will the EU take the next step?👇🏾
