Parliament adopted a resolution setting out its priorities for the EU-Africa partnership ahead of the EU-African Union summit in Luanda, Angola, on 24 and 25 November 2025.
The text calls for making the fight against illegal migration a priority, negotiating readmission agreements with African Union member states, and linking development funds to cooperation on returns.
It also demands that the EU's Strategic Partnership with South Africa be conditional on ending discrimination against the Boer minority and compensating victims.
Parliament asks the Commission and Council to act on these points and forwards the resolution to EU institutions, member states, the UN, and the African Union.
