Forty African heads of state and government and twenty-seven European leaders gathered in Brussels for the 6th EU-AU summit. A summit to overhaul the Africa-Europe relationship.

For two days, participants attended several thematic round tables to develop a series of concrete projects in all areas. The needs are immense. The IMF estimates the continent's needs at more than 221 billion euros over the next three years to cushion the shock of the pandemic. And the EU promises 150 billion euros, a still indicative sum which will include public and private investments.

Macky Sall made eight proposals to the Europeans. Proposals to notably help the African economy or allow better access to vaccines against Covid-19. Europeans and Africans addressed issues on migration, education, health, governance and sustainable development, before the adoption of a joint declaration.
