The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic with Africa's first economic recession in 25 years and a sharp rise in poverty and debt has created new challenges for the two continents' agenda, highlighting new gaps to address on the way forward.With the European Union-African Union summit scheduled for February 2022, the definition of the new partnership is once again gathering momentum, while both sides are still trying to define common positions. Will these two "natural partners" be able to tackle the most urgent challenges and turn them into opportunities for collaboration and engagement? What are the priority issues, and which ones are potentially most divisive?Europe and Africa AfricaForeign economic relations337.6Carbone GiovanniNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910598144203321Europe and Africa3084604UNINA
