The global geopolitical order is undergoing a profound transformation. Power is increasingly shifting away from a small group of dominant states toward a more complex structure. Against this backdrop, representatives from politics, academia, and the private sector convened in Berlin on 14 April 2026 to discuss the future of relations between Europe and Africa.

Together with our partners in a new cooperation project on the Future of Europe-Africa relations, we joined a productive exchange with South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola and his delegation.

Training with learners from grade 8 is underway in schools in Delft and Hanover Park in Cape Town.

We just marked the start of City of Cape Town Evidence-Based Policing training for managers in the Safety & Security Directorate.
