Foreign ministers of the European Union and the African Union discussed three main themes: political aspects: peace, security and governance; economic aspects: trade, investment, and economic integration; multilateralism: strengthening cooperation in support of a rules-based global order. The EU-AU ministerial meeting was the first annual inter-Summit EU-AU ministerial meeting. It was an opportunity to take stock of the implementation of the outcome of the 5th AU – EU Summit (Abidjan, 29-30 November 2017), which marked a mile stone in reshaping the partnership into an even stronger, mutually beneficial partnership better adapted to a rapidly evolving global context. It was co-chaired by High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Rwanda Richard Sezibera.
