Renewing the EU-Africa partnership
MEPs called for a "new partnership of equals" based on mutual respect, transparency and common interests. The aim is to strengthen cooperation on trade, security, sustainable development and digitalisation ahead of the upcoming EU-Africa summit in Luanda, Angola.
According to the adopted text, Europe wants to "show its flag again" - to be more visible on the African continent and to differentiate itself from the influence of China and Russia, which, according to the Parliament, often operate here in a non-transparent and politically conditioned manner.
The resolution stresses that peace, security and good governance are the foundations of development. The EU should therefore continue to fund African peacekeeping operations and promote respect for international law and human rights. It also calls for greater investment in youth education, gender equality and the transition to renewable energy.
The document also includes a proposal for an EU-Africa industrial agreement to help Africa process its own raw materials and create jobs. Parliament also wants to strengthen student and business exchanges and promote legal and safe migration.
According to the resolution, the EU and the African Union should jointly develop an action plan for 2030 and annually assess the results of their cooperation in the areas of climate, trade, migration and security.
