EU aims to further strengthen relations with Chad

NOTE from Sudan Watch Editor: This report is translated from French using Google translate. If memory serves, in 2003-4 200 French troops were swiftly dropped into Chad by helicopter when news broke of war in Darfur. I blogged about it at the time because I was surprised at France being the first to send troops to land near Sudan on a mission to provide humanitarian aid.

Cooperation: EU aims to further strengthen relations with Chad

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chadians Abroad, Mahamat Saleh Annadif, received in audience, on February 7, 2024, the Special Representative of the European Union for the Sahel, Emanuela Del Re. The objective was to discuss the relations between Chad and the European Union and the crucial role that the Chadian government plays within the Sahel region.

The discussions during this meeting focused on topics related to the promotion of peace and stability in the Sahel. It is in view of the many challenges facing Chad and the subregion that the two stakeholders intend to strengthen their cooperation to eradicate these problems.

Thus, the EU Representative for the Sahel, Emanuela Del Re, took the opportunity to congratulate and encourage Chad for its efforts and contribution to the search for durable solutions. She did not lose sight of the ongoing transition process in Chad and welcomed the commitment of the Chadian government to the reception of thousands of Sudanese refugees in the east of the country.
