What is the EU doing?
The EU champions multilateralism and a rules-based global order. It seeks a coordinated approach to external action - from trade and international partnerships to foreign security and defence policy - that secures a stronger and more united voice for Europe in the world. We also work closely with neighbouring countries, introducing a comprehensive strategy for our relations with Africa and reaffirming the European perspective for the countries of the Western Balkans. Responsible global engagement also means that the EU invests in partnerships and alliances with third countries, multilateral and regional organisations, especially those with whom we share common values but also with all those with whom we share common global objectives such as a common global response to the COVID pandemic and the global climate ambitions.
