On 22 April 2021, Josep Borrell Fontelles, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of a stronger Europe in the World, went to Chad, where he met with Mohamed Bazoum, President of Niger.This visit was organised in the context of the “civilian and political leap” decided at the G5 Sahel Ndjamena Summit last February, and one day after the European Union adopted its new Sahel strategy. The new EU Strategy for Sahel affirms the importance of a solid and long-term partnership between the EU and the Sahel, and of stepping up that partnership through an ambitious EU strategy setting the framework for its policies and actions in the region.This video shows extracts of the meeting and the press statement given by Josep Borrell Fontelles.
