GERMAN PRESIDENCY: VI. AN EFFECTIVE EUROPEAN UNION FOR A RULES-BASED INTERNATIONAL ORDER ANCHORED IN PARTNERSHIP

In the area of the EU’s external action, too, overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic, successfully coping with its consequences and preventing future pandemics will be central issues. This will only be possible with close international cooperation. Within the context of the Team Europe approach, we will therefore work to promote joint engagement between the EU institutions and Member States, the strengthening of the multilateral institutions, productive cooperation with international partners and key players and global provision of the necessary resources.
