Johann Wadephul Wadephul: Europe and Africa are not only geographically close. We also share common interests and want to further strengthen our cooperation. To this end, we are setting four priorities at today's meeting of EU and #AfricanUnion foreign ministers:

1/ We want to create more #security together. What happens on our neighbouring continent affects us directly and vice versa. The #EU supports more African ownership in dealing with conflicts on the African continent. Johann Wadephul Wadephul

2/ We want to work together for more #growth. The EU is the largest investor and trading partner in Africa and a strong partner for Africa. The potential for even more mutually beneficial economic exchange and innovation is immense. Johann Wadephul Wadephul

3/ We want to work together for a world with strong rules. The rules-based international order is being challenged every day in both Europe and Africa. Together, we represent 40% of the votes in the #UN. We want to capitalise on that. Johann Wadephul Wadephul

4/ We want to work more closely together on migration issues and address its root causes. We will curb irregular migration and further develop ways of legal migration. Johann Wadephul Wadephul Full statement π diplo.de/2719202

There is no justification for antisemitic violence. I am shocked by the insidious murder of two Israeli embassy employees in #Washington. Dear Gideon Sa'ar | ΧΧΧ’ΧΧ Χ‘Χ’Χ¨, my thoughts are with the Israel Foreign Ministry colleagues and the families of the victims. Johann Wadephul

#Nigeria is an economic powerhouse & key player for peace & stability in #Westafrica and beyond. Today, Johann Wadephul and Hon. Yusuf Maitama Tuggar agreed to deepen π©πͺπ³π¬ economic ties. We stand together in tackling the threat of terrorism and strengthening regional integration & #ECOWAS.
