He stated that Shettima will join other Heads of State and Government for high-level engagements focused on strengthening partnerships between Africa and Europe.
The AU–EU meeting, Nkwocha noted, will also bring together young leaders, innovators, and civil society organisations to discuss shared challenges and propose actionable solutions.
The summit is expected to cover major global and regional issues, including:
Climate change
Inclusive development
Infrastructure
Digital economy

Nkwocha added that Vice-President Shettima would return to Nigeria at the conclusion of the summit.
He reaffirmed that the Tinubu administration remains committed to “deepening Nigeria’s partnerships and ensuring the nation’s voice is heard on global stages.”
