AFRICAN AND EUROPEAN LEADERS PLEDGE TO BOOST TRADE AND TACKLE MIGRATION

Leaders from Africa and Europe meeting in the Angolan capital, Luanda, committed to strengthening trade and better tackling illegal migration.

Marking 25 years of AU-EU relations, the two-days of talks saw the European Union pledge to support African nations develop, industrialise, and diversify their exports.

They welcomed the progress made in implementing the Global Gateway Africa-Europe Investment Package, which mobilises public and private funds for infrastructure, energy and digital connectivity.
