As global powers compete for influence across Africa, Europe faces a complex challenge: how to safeguard its southern neighbourhood while supporting African-led peace, security, and development. In this talk, Charlie Stuart, Senior Diplomat and Chief Peace & Security Advisor on Africa at the European External Action Service (EEAS), will examine the evolving dynamics of Europe-Africa relations, from security partnerships and migration management to strategic competition with China and Russia. Drawing on his extensive diplomatic experience, Stuart will offer an insider’s view on how the EU seeks to balance values, interests, and geopolitical realities in protecting Europe’s southern flank.
