TunisiaEU must play stronger role in global affairs, Mogherini tells Ambassadors
Her speech came against the backdrop of the launch in June of her blueprint for the future of EU External Action, the Global Strategy, and following the result of the UK referendum.
“We are together the face and the voice of the European Union with our partners in the world – in our region and beyond our region. We know very well that in these months and in the year ahead we will need to reaffirm very strongly the EU’s determination to play a very consistent, a very strong regional and global role and we are not looking inwards.”
She pledged to turn the vision in the Global Strategy into concrete action, with a roadmap for implementation with concrete timetables and steps.
This would include focused work on security and defence, an integrated approach to crises and conflicts, more internal/external coordination in EU external policy, and better follow-through on the numerous EU foreign policy strategies.
