Niger-Bénin : vers une réouverture prochaine de la frontière commune

Benin and Niger are continuing their efforts to reopen their shared border. Meeting within a joint committee of experts established after Beninese President Romuald Wadagni's visit to Niamey, the two countries have completed the first phase of discussions focused on the conditions for resuming cross-border trade.

In a joint statement published on June 16, 2026, the Beninese and Nigerien authorities welcomed the results, which they deemed "fruitful" across all points examined. The conclusions of the discussions were transmitted to Presidents Romuald Wadagni and Abdourahamane Tiani.

Experts from both countries are scheduled to meet before the end of the week to finalize a joint report that will serve as the basis for future decisions. Benin and Niger have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening their cooperation and embarking on a new phase in their bilateral relations.
