A stronger Europe in a changing world

For us, the European Union's foreign policy and external relations must be based on the values upon which the EU is founded. Renew Europe believes that in a changing world order, we are stronger together and weaker apart. We must uphold our interests and principles and remain committed to multilateralism, international and human rights law and sustainable development.

We are stronger together and weaker apart

We want to strengthen the role of the High Representative/Vice President to ensure that the EU can act as a united, more influential global actor. A reinforced CFSP should include traditional EU 'soft power' but also strengthened security, trade and defense policies and instruments. We need to move towards a genuine European Defense Union in close cooperation with NATO. We support new strategies with regard to the EU neighborhood and Africa that effectively deal with economic development and security.
