(FR/NL) 🇪🇺 Excellent échange avec le Représentant spécial de l’UE pour le Sahel, @JoaoCravinho. J’ai réaffirmé la volonté de la Belgique de rester engagée dans cette région proche de l’Europe avec qui nous partageons des défis et des opportunités. En assumant ce qui nous différencie, nous devons ensemble redynamiser un partenariat UE-Sahel sur base d’intérêts communs et centrés sur les besoins des populations.

Uitstekend discussie met de EU Speciaal Vertegenwoordiger voor de Sahel, João Cravinho. Ik heb nogmaals bevestigd dat België bereid is actief betrokken te blijven in deze regio dicht bij Europa, waarmee we uitdagingen en opportuniteiten delen. Met erkenning van wat ons onderscheidt, moeten we samen het EU-Sahel-partnerschap nieuw leven inblazen op basis van gemeenschappelijke belangen en gericht op de noden van de bevolking.

Combatting #ViolenceAgainstWomen, in all its forms, must be everybody’s cause.

It is essential to equality, dignity, and the very values the EU firmly stands for.

Let us not remain silent!
