Description of the Subject: Africa-European Union
Strategic Partnership

qualitative leap in international relations between Africa and the European Union.
- The Joint Africa-European Union provides a general long-term framework for
the international relations between Africa and the European Union
- By the Lisbon Declaration, Africa and the European Union define the framework for the Africa-European Union Strategic Partnership, intended to guide the dialogue and cooperation between the European Union and Africa
- One of the main objectives of the Africa-European Union relations is to promote the United Nations Millennium Development Goals
achievement in Africa
- This objective is strengthened and complemented by specific objectives pursued within the Cotonou Agreement,
trade development and cooperation agreements, the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, and the European Neighbourhood Policy,
including the assistance to the political reform and economic modernisation
