Following the 6th AU-EU Summit, this Policy Dialogue was an occasion to reflect on the conclusions on migration and mobility, and examine to what extent the aspirations to achieve deeper AU-EU cooperation in this field can be turned into concrete resolutions. The discussion focused in particular on key joint priorities such as legal migration, return, readmission and reintegration, and forced displacement. The event is organised in the framework of the Mercator Dialogue on Asylum and Migration (MEDAM).
