It implies renewing cooperation policies by further integrating issues of development, social and environmental sustainability and security. This agenda will be marked by a number of key events in the short term. In France, the next inter-ministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development will take place in February 2018. In Europe, the future of cooperation and development policies will be discussed in the contex.
