Press Release: EU to step up its support to partners to tackle security challenges

On 28 April 2015 the European Commission and the High Representative of the European Union presented proposals on how to help partner countries and regional organisations to prevent and manage all types of security crises using a full range of European Union and Member States’ instruments.

The Communication recognises the EU should provide partner countries with efficient support so that they can build the capacity to take care of their own security and development.
