Dr. Stefan Cibian took part in the 11th Global Diplomacy Lab which took part in Berlin on October 27-30, 2019. The topic of the Lab was collaboration for realizing the potential of the demographic dividend in Africa and modalities in which European governments can meaningfully contribute. The Lab built on the experience gathered in Accra, earlier in June, and put forward solutions for a more direct and honest communication, based on trust, between Germany and Sub-Saharan African countries. The generated solutions will be presented to the German Federal Foreign Office, the 2019 Challenge Holder, in order for the Ministry to make use of them in further consolidating its relations with African countries.
