EU and UN FAO meet in Brussels for the Strategic Dialogue

Today in Brussels, the European Union and the United Nation’s FAO held a Strategic Dialogue to plan and prioritise our common work in the coming months, to strengthen normative and knowledge cooperation on sustainable agrifood systems, sustainable fisheries and a sustainable bioeconomy and to scale up impactful EU Global Gateway projects in partnership with FAO. 

Ambassador Martin Selmayr participated in the discussions on how FAO can best support the UN80 process, improve cooperation and synergies with WFP and IFAD and advance with FAO’s own review process. FAO’s support activities in fragile settings got a lot of attention. 

The European Union will continue to be a reliable and predictable partner of the United Nations in general and FAO, WFP and IFAD in particular, while ensuring that our values and interests will be taken well into account in our future cooperation.
