Very interesting to see the discrepancy in priorities between the EU co-chair and the AU co-chair in their opening speeches:

The 3rd #EUAU Ministerial Meeting is taking place in #Brussels today.
On the #EU side, we are disappointed to see no mention of health or human development in
@kajakallas.bsky.social 's opening speech, despite #health being confirmed as a key pillar of the #partnership (1/2)
Discussing the future of global health research in the next #FP10, organised by our colleagues at
@dsw-intl.bsky.social and @globalhealthde.bsky.social and hosted by @germanyintheeu.bsky.social
.
Commissioner Sรญkela, as the #GlobalGateway is largely financed through the EU development budget, it must uphold TFEU Art. 208: poverty eradication comes first. Investments should reduce inequality and strengthen communities โ not be used as a tool for #private interests.
Today is World Polio Day!
๐กInnovative financing is fuelling the fight to #EndPolio. Hear Zakaria Sbitri, @ec.europa.eu, explain what their innovative financing partnership with @eib.org & @gatesfoundation.bsky.social means and how smart investments are helping vaccines reach every child, everywhere.
Hi @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu! Oops, you forgot to include the Global Fund's 8th replenishment Summit. If the #EU is to be a #globalhealth leader like you called for in your #SOTEU, we call on the Commission to demonstrate its commitment to global health by pledging โฌ800m tomorrow. #StopAtNothing
On #WorldTBDay:
TB remains one of the worldโs deadliest infectious diseases โ despite being preventable and curable.
As #FP10 is negotiated, the EU must invest in tackling TB and other neglected diseases.
Europe is at growing risk.
