Ghana’s national declaration defining the nation’s priorities in economic stability, job creation, food security, climate action, peace and security, and value-chain development will be delivered by the Vice President, who is attending the summit on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama.
The two-day summit, which begins on November 24 with the theme “Promoting peace and prosperity through effective multilateralism,” commemorates 25 years of AU-EU cooperation and falls on the 50th anniversary of Angola’s and several other African nations’ independence.

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, will also represent the EU, and Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, will head the AU delegation.
Over the course of the two days, leaders will talk about how to improve collaboration in important areas such as prosperity, people, migration, mobility, and peace, security, governance, and multilateralism.
A joint statement confirming the AU-EU partnership’s strength, balance, and forward-thinking nature is anticipated to conclude the summit.
