Leaders of the European Union (EU) member states and the countries of the African Union (AU) will meet in Luanda, Angola for the seventh EU-African Union summit. This multilateral summit will be co-chaired by the President of Angola, João Lourenço, and the President of the European Council, António Costa. The EU will also be represented by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

Marking 25 years of EU-AU partnership, the Summit comes at a pivotal time as Angola holds the rotating African Union presidency. Leaders will focus on strengthening cooperation in key areas such as peace and security, economic integration, trade, multilateralism, green development, digitalisation, migration, mobility and human development.

The Summit will build on the outcomes of the recent EU-AU Ministerial held in Brussels in May 2025, where ministers reaffirmed their commitment to closer ties between the two continents—guided by shared values, mutual interests, and a joint vision for sustainable growth and stability.
