The spokesperson for the European Union’s Foreign Affairs and Security Policy reiterated on Friday that “neither the EU nor any of its Member States recognise the so-called ‘SADR’.”

The statement was made in response to a question regarding the upcoming European Union–African Union ministerial meeting, set to take place next Wednesday in Brussels.

The spokesperson noted that the EU-AU ministerial meetings are co-chaired and jointly organised by both Unions.

Any potential presence of the so-called “SADR” at the meeting, the spokesperson emphasised, would be attributed to the African Union’s arrangements, not the EU’s invitation.

He stressed that the EU’s position remains unchanged: “Neither the EU nor any of its Member States recognise the so-called ‘SADR’,”

The spokesperson added that the entity’s possible attendance at the meeting “has no bearing on this position.”
