The European Commission’s president is to deliver his annual state of the union address and will propose a new Africa-Europe alliance.<\/p>\n

Jean-Claude Juncker will say it is time for the EU to take its place at the top table of global powers.<\/p>\n

He is also expected to predict the UK will have better relations with the EU than any other country after Brexit.<\/p>\n

This is Mr Juncker’s last 12 months in the role, with the problems of Brexit, migration and populism dominating.<\/p>\n

Mr Juncker’s speech in Strasbourg will be an attempt to turn the European Union into a serious player in global politics, the BBC’s Adam Fleming reports.<\/p>\n

And he will urge countries to give up their national vetoes in some areas of foreign policy. One EU diplomat said this would be an attempt to prevent China – a growing force in Africa – from blocking European diplomacy with a call to just one of the member states.<\/p>\n

Although this is the final state of the union address before Brexit, our correspondent says Mr Juncker will not want the subject to dominate.<\/p>\n

It is unlikely he will shift the EU’s position towards the UK’s on access to the single market – but he will nod towards a future relationship that will be unlike any the EU has with another country.<\/p>\n

An EU diplomat said the message is: “Let’s be friends again.” <\/p>\n

On migration, there will be more details on EU plans to add 10,000 guards to the Frontex border agency by 2020.<\/p>\n

EU migration: Crisis in seven charts<\/p>\n

From the start of his commission’s mandate in 2014, migration his been a major crisis.<\/p>\n

It has sparked a rise in populism that has seen power shifts in Italy, Austria, Hungary and Poland, with Sweden the latest country to register a rise in anti-immigration votes in an election.<\/p>\n

Is Europe seeing a nationalist surge?<\/p>\n

Right after his speech, the EU parliament will decide whether to take disciplinary procedures against Hungary for breaching core democratic values.<\/p>\n

The commission has already launched disciplinary proceedings against Poland over reforms it says challenge the rule of law.<\/p>\n

The next elections to the European parliament are expected to be held in late May next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
