#Raisina2021

📺

@chairmanEUMC: EU has acknowledged the direct nexus between internal and external security.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@chairmanEUMC: Strategic autonomy of the EU on the security side is a definition imbued with some “ambiguity”.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@chairmanEUMC: Strategic autonomy is not autonomy by “someone”...it means being autonomous to “do something”, alone if necessary, better with partner(s).

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@davidmcallister: The Indo Pacific gaining importance in EU external policy. Is of “great economic, strategic and geopolitical importance” for Europe.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@davidmcallister: France, Germany, Netherlands have published strategies/ guidelines on the Indo Pacific. This has stepped up expectations for the forthcoming EU guidance for the region.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@davidmcallister: With a vision for becoming a global player, EU cannot afford to sit back and ignore the Indo Pacific. It needs to formulate a credible, comprehensive approach.

RE-UP!
#Raisina2021 is LIVE from Germany with Raisina@Berlin
@KASonline 'A Decade of Emergence: Europe in the Indo-Pacific' with Chairman, European Union Military Committee @ChairmanEUMC @davidmcallister @NorwayMFA @AmritaNarlikar

@davidmcallister: Next in line for the EU should be a trade deal with India which will "unlock the whole potential of the strategic partnership."

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@jensfh: Very happy that we’re sitting alongside India on the UN Security Council and working together on the “big stuff”.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@jensfh: Lots of “natural” collaboration areas that lead Norway to the Indo Pacific.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@jensfh: Norway has always been a big ‘Ocean’ nation. We have the world’s fourth largest ocean fleet. During World War 2, we carried supplies to the Allies. Long history that lends sharper focus on #IndoPacific.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@AmritaNarlikar poser: “Multilateralism is a bit like motherhood and apple pie, right? How do we get multilateralism working right, again?” 🤔

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@jensfh to @AmritaNarlikar : How do you separate true multilateralists from the not so true ones? One way to sort that out...will the true ones dare to “confront” the other side?

@AmritaNarlikar: China had said, about the #Quad, that it would dissipate like sea foam but it has grown stronger. How does the EU see the #Quad?

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@davidmcallister: #Quad and EU believe in a rule-based global order and defend the same rights. These rights include democracy, the rule of law, human dignity, freedom of speech, freedom of media, inclusiveness, sustainability.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@davidmcallister: Connectivity will be the top priority for the EU because we see great economic potential between EU and Asia and it remains untapped.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@davidmcallister: The 3⃣ Cs would govern the relationship with #China

“Cooperate where possible, compete where needed and confront where necessary”.

#Raisina2021 #Raisina@Berlin

@jensfh: To strengthen ties between India and the EU, we need to focus on mutual interests that would make the relationship deeper and more practical.
