European Union in Lesotho

The Delegation of the European Union to the Kingdom of Lesotho is part of an extended network of Union representations abroad placed under the responsibility of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. The duty of Delegations is to assist HR/VP in carrying out the mission of representing the Union, conducting its external policy and promoting the interests and values of the European Union abroad.

The Delegation also represents the EU’s 27 Member States in the Kingdom.

Over the years, the relations between Lesotho and the EU have evolved into a multi-facetted partnership encompassing political relations, trade and investment, academic and cultural exchanges as well as a large cooperation programme contributing to create the conditions for sustainable growth for all Basotho.
