25th Anniversary of the AU-EU Partnership

The African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) have launched a year-long celebration marking the 25th anniversary of their enduring and unique partnership, since the first Africa-Europe Summit held on 3-4 April 2000 in Cairo.

In a retrospective exercise, we recall key moments over the past 25 years of cooperation, primarily focused on four pillars: Prosperity, Peace, People, and Planet. 

2025 is another important milestone, with the meeting of African and European leaders in ministerial format on May 21 in Brussels, and the heads of government at the summit to be held later this year in Africa.
