🆕 EU foreign policy: a reboot is urgent The world has changed. The EU needs to change too. Our current foreign policy approach, designed for a more peaceful world where #multilateralism was strong, no longer works. We propose 🔟 actionable ideas for the new EU leadership. #10IdeasEU 1. 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 to replace the one-size-fits-all European Neighbourhood Policy. 2. 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭: increase the EU's power of attraction & support partners’ further integration and resilience. 3. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐄𝐔-#𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Beijing is not willing to restrain Moscow. The EU must then reassess its relationship with China accordingly. 4. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 #𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞: make EU leaders responsible for protecting Europeans. 5.

𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬: establish targeted partnerships with select groupings of countries, rather than investing in broad but vague multilateral frameworks. 7. 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 #𝐂𝐒𝐃𝐏 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: focus on protecting maritime routes & solving crises in the immediate neighbourhood. 8. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 #𝐔𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞: enable them to take back territory. 9.
