EU - Africa summit — 10 December 2007, 13:07 CET

Seven years after the first meeting of heads of state and government from the European Union and Africa, in Cairo, the second EU-Africa Summit was held in Lisbon on 8 and 9 December 2007, where representatives from the 80 countries that comprise this partnership, as well as heads of the regional institutions from both continents were present. The Summit sought to take into account the deep changes that affect Africa, Europe and the world during this period, by launching the basis for a long-term strategic partnership, and supplying the necessary tools for a joint work on the big global issues. Besides the approval of the two documents that shape the new EU-Africa partnership - the Joint Strategy and the Action Plan - during the Summit there was an open discussion of the five central themes of this mutual relationship: peace and security; democracy and human rights; trade, infrastructures and development; migrations and energy and climate change.
