Rethinking EU-MENA Engagement
Thu, June 8th, 2023
Carnegie Europe
The lack of a clear strategic vision for engagement with its Southern neighbors has hindered the European Union’s response to emerging crises in the region and prevented the bloc from becoming a more assertive global actor.
To establish sustainable partnerships and build trust, the union needs to consider regional and local perspectives in its decisionmaking and meet its partners on equal footing.
The Carnegie Europe Foundation is delighted to invite you to a public discussion on how the EU can forge an effective policy toward its Southern neighbors. The event, taking place in the framework of the ENGAGE project, will feature remarks by Maria Fantappiè and Emile Hokayem. Judy Dempsey will moderate.
To submit a question for the event, please use the YouTube chat or tweet us at @Carnegie_Europe.
A light reception will follow the event.
