Togo and luxembourg strengthen ties with three landmark agreements

Togo’s diplomatic influence continues to grow as Foreign Minister Robert Dussey welcomed Luxembourg’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Xavier Bettel, in Lomé for an official visit. The meeting, held on July 15, 2026, resulted in the signing of three pivotal agreements, with Digital Transition Minister Cina Lawson in attendance.

Deepening historical ties through strategic diplomacy

This marks Bettel’s second official trip to Togo in two years, following his 2024 visit. The visit underscores the robust and enduring partnership between Togo and Luxembourg, solidified since their diplomatic relations were established on March 7, 1972. To further strengthen this bond, both nations agreed to formalize regular political consultations through an upcoming framework agreement.

Three key agreements to drive Togo’s progress

The Lomé summit delivered tangible outcomes with the immediate signing of three critical cooperation frameworks designed to propel Togo’s development agenda:

• The INCLURE environmental financing protocol: A landmark initiative aimed at bolstering ecological sustainability and climate resilience across the country.
• The Togo-Luxembourg Indicative Cooperation Programme (PIC): A structured roadmap to guide long-term development assistance and partnership projects.
• The Togocyber + cybersecurity programme: A forward-thinking initiative leveraging the technical expertise of LuxDev—Luxembourg’s development cooperation agency—to enhance digital transition and cybersecurity under Lawson’s leadership.
