Afghanistan: EU to sign a cooperation agreement on partnership and development

On 13 February 2017, the Council decided to sign a cooperation agreement on partnership and development agreement between the EU and Afghanistan. The agreement will be signed on 18 February 2017 in Munich.

The cooperation agreement on partnership and development will constitute a new framework for EU-Afghan relation. It formalises the EU's commitment to Afghanistan's development under the "decade of transformation" (2014-2024), building on the undertakings given at the Brussels Conference on Afghanistan on 4-5 October 2016.
