Maritime security: A European Union delegation is in Lomé to discuss ways to bolster EU-Togo cooperation

(Togo First) - To help Togo tackle maritime insecurity, a European Union (EU) delegation is currently in Lomé to meet with local authorities. The Europeans came to Lomé on May 17 and will leave on May 19, 2022. 

They are led by Nicolas Berlanga Martinez, Senior Coordinator of the European Union for Maritime Security in the Gulf of Guinea and former head of the EU delegation in Togo. 

According to a statement from the EU delegation, the talks will focus on ways to boost cooperation between the two sides.

In addition to the meetings planned for this occasion, the delegation will visit European vessels such as "ITS Rizzo" (Italy) and "NRP Viana do Castelo" (Portugal) at the Port of Lome. This visit is part of the European initiative of "Coordinated Maritime Presences" in the Gulf of Guinea which aims to consolidate the European Union’s position as a partner and actor in maritime security by ensuring a permanent maritime presence and coverage in the areas of maritime interest established by the EU Council.
