“If the Kremlin is serious about its vision of the multipolar world, Europe can become one of those poles only if it is strong; only if it represents an independent power.” Andrey Kortunov
“For the Chinese government, a prosperous, stable, and strong Europe is good, because a more independent Europe is good news in the wake of China-US competition and rivalry.” Huang Jing
What are conflicting interests with other non-European regions and how can the EU (re)develop the strength to play an active role in foreign affairs? What are the expectations of the MENA region, China, Russia and the U.S. towards future relations with the EU?
