African and European Heads of State or Government will meet in Luanda (Angola) on 24 and 25 November 2025 for the Seventh European Union (EU)-African Union Summit. The Africa-EU partnership faces significant challenges, including global geopolitical shifts and shrinking development finance. Central to the EU's new approach, the Global Gateway strategy aims to mobilise €150 billion by 2027 to boost Africa's digital connectivity, transport infrastructure, and energy transition. However, questions remain over ownership and whether African priorities are genuinely reflected. To ensure the partnership remains effective, it must deliver on the commitments made at the 2022 summit and strengthen accountability mechanisms. This means addressing persistent challenges in implementation, such as lack of coordination, inconsistent reporting, and data gaps. The European Parliament has consistently advocated for a people-centred partnership that genuinely benefits both Europeans and Africans. This briefing provides an insight into the broad context that will set the scene for discussions. Detailed specifics of the four pillars of the partnership are discussed in separate publications: Prosperity (economy and connectivity; natural resources, health, research and education), Peace (security and governance), People (migration and mobility) and Planet (multilateralism). It is crucial for the next summit to embody a partnership of equals, supporting sustainable development, peace, and prosperity for both continents. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

A Delhi court dismissed Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi's plea for a one-week gap between hearings in the IRCTC Hotels corruption case. The court cited High Court directions for day-to-day listing until witness examination concludes. The case involves alleged corruption in hotel tender awards during Yadav's tenure as railway minister.

Initial investigations into a car explosion near Delhi's Red Fort suggest it was not a typical suicide attack, but possibly a premature detonation by a panicked suspect. The blast, which killed at least eight people, did not exhibit the usual modus operandi of suicide bombers, with no crater or shrapnel found.

India has strongly refuted Pakistan's claims linking New Delhi to a suicide bombing near Islamabad, labeling the accusations «baseless and unfounded.» The Ministry of External Affairs stated that Pakistan's allegations are a diversionary tactic to distract from its internal political and constitutional turmoil, a move the international community will not be misled by.

Delhi remains on high alert following a deadly blast near the Red Fort, with the NIA taking over the investigation. The explosion, linked to a 'white-collar' terror module, occurred hours after a major explosives seizure and arrests, raising suspicions of a premature detonation under pressure.

Advances in DNA technology mean that in future wars, the chances that soldiers won't be identified are slim. Does the concept of an Unknown Soldier still have meaning to a new, on-demand generation, or will it become a relic of a bygone era?
