"The European Commission will pledge at least 60 million euros to support Somalia's security institutions and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM)," a statement released in Brussels said. The conference, to be held in Brussels, "is critical for tackling the root causes of piracy in the international waters off (Somalia's) coastline," the statement said.

The conference is to be co-chaired by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and African Union Chairman Jean Ping. They are set to be joined by European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso, Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, and the secretaries general of the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, Amr Mussa and Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu.
