Africa-Europe Forum 2025
At a moment of intensifying global disorder and increasing respective challenges, ECFR’s Africa-Europe Forum provides a platform for an open and frank discussion aimed at supporting a strengthened, strategic partnership between Africa and Europe. Drawing together key voices from both continents to lay out respective opportunities and concerns underpinning relations, the Forum aims to support the strengthening of a more substantive relationship that can better help both sides meet current challenges.
The off-the-record Forum centres around key themes, reflecting priorities shaping engagement between the two sides: 1) Reshaping global governance; 2) Enhancing a balanced partnership with a focus on energy and climate cooperation; and 3) Addressing shared security challenges in the central Sahel and Sudan.
