The ^13th session of the Partnership Commission between the Republic of Niger and the  Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was launched by videoconference on Friday 11 June 2021. The Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Diallo Amina Djibo, presided over the ceremony that marked the signing of the new Indicative Cooperation Programme 2022-2026.

The new Programme is aligned with Niger's priorities and guided by the principles   of aid effectiveness, and is intended to be a programme that implements a real partnership between the two countries with shared responsibilities.  Cooperation 2022-2026, whose budget amounts to more than €144 million compared to €115 million for the previous programme, testifies to the excellence and dynamism of this cooperation ", stressed Diallo Amina Djibo.

The Director of Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Manuel Tonnar , indicated that the signing of ICP IV is the largest  programme ever signed in his country, which already  places Niger in first place among  the partner countries of cooperation.

Scheduled to be held in 2020 in Luxembourg, this session had to be postponed several times for reasons related to the covid-19 pandemic. This  meeting aims first of all to make an assessment of the  bilateral cooperation that exists between the two countries, in particular by taking stock of the implementation of the ICP3 indicative cooperation programme for the period 2016-2021, and also  to make an overview of the brand new Indicative Cooperation Programme (4)  2022-2026, signed on the occasion of the friendship and working visit made by the President of the Republic of Niger Mohammed Bazoum to Luxembourg on 19 May 2021.
