Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived at the Protocol Hall, venue of the 7th African Union–European Union Summit being held in Luanda, the Angolan capital.

DAILY POST reports that the Vice-President arrived at about 02:00 p.m. local time on Monday.

Recall that the Vice President, who is representing President Bola Tinubu left Johannesburg for Luanda late Sunday.

On his entourage was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar.

Shettima’s address at the two-day event will reportedly emphasise Africa–EU cooperation on security and trade, particularly in the wake of mounting threats to regional stability.

The Vice-President is also scheduled to join two thematic sessions on Peace, Security, and Migration.

The summit, themed ‘Promoting Peace and Prosperity through Effective Multilateralism’, is co-chaired by the President of Angola and chairperson of the African Union, João Lourenço, alongside the President of the European Council, António Costa.

The two-day gathering marks 25 years of formal AU-EU cooperation.

It comes when trade between Africa and the EU reached nearly $410 billion in 2024 – $217 billion in EU imports from Africa and about $191 billion in exports to the continent.
