#APOHighlight | The Global South and the future of global governance At #APO2025, the opening High-Level Dialogue brought together key leaders to address a fundamental issue: how to ensure fair representation of emerging economies in global decision-making frameworks. With the Global South expected to account for 44% of global GDP by 2025, panelists stressed the urgency of adapting governance systems to reflect today’s global power shifts. 🔹 Priorities identified: * Reforming financial institutions to rebalance influence * Addressing illicit financial flows * Strengthening African unity and governance * Expanding inclusive participation in multilateral forums 💬 “This is the time to move beyond rhetoric about inclusion and towards the reality of power-sharing.” — H.E. Dr. Rania Al-Mashat This discussion reflected the ambition of APO: to foster African-led dialogues on global challenges and drive concrete solutions. 🙏 With thanks to our distinguished speakers : * H.E.

🌍 Celebrating 25 Years of the AU-EU Partnership 🌍 This year, we celebrate a historic milestone: 25 years since the inaugural AU-EU Summit in Cairo in 2000. Over the past quarter-century, this partnership has evolved into a robust strategic alliance founded on shared values, multilateralism, and a commitment to sustainable cooperation. During our Africa Political Outlook Summit last week, we hosted a high-level panel featuring representatives from both the African Union and the European Commission. The panel engaged in insightful discussions on shared priorities and a common agenda, emphasizing the importance of renewed dialogue to address today’s global challenges to shape the next chapter of this enduring partnership. #AUEU25 #Partnership #CommonAgenda #SharedPriorities

Younous Omarjee, Vice-Président du European Parliament, nous a fait l’honneur d’ouvrir notre conférence #APO2025 par un discours fort et engagé. Il en reprend ici les grandes lignes 👇

🌍 Réimaginer la relation Afrique-Europe, à l’heure d'un rapport "Nouveau Sud - Ancien Monde" ? Hier, j’ai eu le privilège de participer à la 3e édition du sommet Africa Political Outlook. Sous le thème « Nouveau Sud, Ancien Monde », les débats ont mis en lumière l’urgence de redéfinir les rapports de pouvoir entre les nations "dites du Sud" et les institutions internationales, trop souvent ancrées dans des logiques dépassées. En tant que consultante en diplomatie publique et communication stratégique, j’ai été particulièrement interpellée par les échanges sur la nécessité d’un multilatéralisme inclusif, capable de refléter les aspirations d’un continent jeune, stratégique, et résolument tourné vers l’avenir. Le « Nouveau Sud » n’est plus une abstraction. Il est force de proposition, d’innovation et de réforme. Mais pour qu’un partenariat euro-africain puisse émerger de manière authentique, il nous faut dépasser les schémas donneur/récipiendaire. Repenser nos récits, nos cadres de coopération et nos imaginaires est une responsabilité collective. 🔗 Ce sommet a aussi confirmé combien le dialogue euro-africain doit se nourrir de voix issues des diasporas, des jeunes leaders, et des sociétés civiles. Ce sont eux qui portent cette transition et en incarnent les enjeux. 🙏 Un grand merci à Adébissi Djogan, fondateur de Africa Political Outlook et CEO de Public Affairs Africa, ainsi qu’à toute son équipe pour la qualité de l’organisation et la richesse des échanges. #AfricaPoliticalOutlook #NewSouth #Geopolitics #AfriqueEurope #PartenariatStratégique #Multilatéralisme #CommunicationStratégique #LeadershipFéminin #DiplomatiePublique #DiasporaVoices
