The European Union and Cape Verde have developed close relations since the archipelago’s independence in 1975. The relationship was strengthened with the Special Partnership in 2007.
The EU and Cape Verde have had a constructive relationship for more than four decades, based on cooperation and political dialogue. Currently, Cape Verde and the EU share common values such as democracy, respect for Human Rights and the Rule of Law, and the promotion of multilateralism. The evolution of relations in these areas led to the creation of the EU-Cape Verde Special Partnership in 2007, a partnership that continues to evolve and be strengthened.
In addition to the annual ministerial meetings, an intense political dialogue has taken place in recent years through high-level meetings between the EU and its Cape Verdean political counterparts.
