Kenya participated in the 7th African Union-European Union Summit and the Second Session of the Ad Hoc Oversight Committee on AU Institutional Reform in Luanda, Angola, emphasizing Africa’s vision for stronger, mutually beneficial partnerships. The Summit offered a platform to review 25 years of Africa-Europe cooperation and address shifting geopolitical priorities, funding gaps, and rising security pressures.
Kenya underscored the need to transition from extractive partnerships to productive ones—moving from exporting raw materials to fostering innovation and finished products. Africa is ready to work with partners who invest on the continent, build industries, and create opportunities for young people. Deepening trade integration, anchored in regional economic communities and driven by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), remains central to maximizing cooperation with the EU. Kenya called on Europe to support digital transformation, climate adaptation, and fair, managed labor mobility.
On the sidelines, Kenya strengthened bilateral ties with regional partners. Meetings included among other leaders, President Macron of France,
President Daniel Chapo of Mozambique, discussing expanded cooperation in agriculture, trade, maritime affairs, and tourism, and Prime Minister Americo Ramos of Sao Tome and Principe, whom Kenya invited to visit early next year.
Kenya continues to champion regional integration and collaboration, encouraging African nations to exchange experiences, learn from one another, and work collectively toward shared growth and prosperity.
