On 24-25 Nov, the European Union and the African Union will celebrate the 25th anniversary of a Partnership of equals, in Luanda, Angola. The EU is a top trading & foreign investment partner of African countries. EU MS FDI in 2022 was at Euro 279 billion - while only 46 b for the US, 41 b for China.
As we prepare to meet in Luanda for the EU-African Union Summit this November, we pay tribute to this historic milestone and celebrate a partnership that is growing stronger — built on mutual respect, shared opportunities and a common vision for the next fifty years.

And here’s a deeper dive with the former NATO SG by @eurdraaitdoor.bsky.social (in EN). Stoltenberg explains why diplomacy (opening up, more trade etc) with Russia - unfortunately - did not work. Fall 2021 showed a strong military built up & an invasion was being prepared -> capacity + intention.
Wat vindt voormalig secretaris-generaal NAVO Jens Stoltenberg van de manier waarop Mark Rutte met president Trump communiceert?

The mandate of United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon UNIFIL established in 1978, has been renewed unanimously, one final time. The complete end to all violations of Lebanese sovereignty are essential conditions for the country’s security and prosperity. This goes for all countries in the region.
The UN Security Council has extended UNIFIL's mandate for 16 months, emphasizing the disarmament of militias like Hezbollah and Lebanon's sovereignty, with a coordinated withdrawal planned by 2026.
