Even if they may seem to be more intense in the European southern region, the fact is that all the repercussions of the worrying insecurity emerging from the African continent affect all EU members states, without exception, as well as the UK. Europe, and namely the EU, needs to find adequate and constructive responses to them, while simultaneously dealing with equivalent, although different, security challenges on its northeastern border. It is the proper integration of these two realities that today defines the framework of European security.

Overview of recent developments on China

We should expect China to practice a proactive diplomacy, trying to generate successes like the recent Iran-Saudi Arabia rapprochement. China does not have a credible position as a mediator in the Ukraine conflict, especially since they agree with several of the underlying worldviews of Russia, including condemning the interference of the West, the start of negotiations from geopolitical realities like lost territory and more.
The EURODEFENSE network can play a leading role in assisting European strategic thought leaders in articulating “The Way Ahead”, through the actions of a group of concerned people with credibility and visibility.
