Hurray indeed!
Goes to show that 🇪🇺can act swiftly, if a sense of urgency is shared
(Ref. investment monitoring, 5G Toolbox)
These Conclusions come six months after the call for action by 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇱++
Strategy to follow within the year
Hurray, another step forward in the EU's engagement in and with the #IndoPacific at today's EU FM meeting.
A lot of EU foreign policy is the accretion of small steps. But put together they (can) amount to strategic change.

Great effort to understand the complexities of working with 🇪🇺...thanks!
A crucial step to improving Transatlantic ties
In a next version, will you also weave in EU Member States?
That would illustrate the real challenge that officials face...
From a 2015 Clingendael Report:
The relationship between some US & EU government bodies & global institutions is complicated.
While not comprehensive, we explain some of those relationships. #PIIECharts
Details & find a glossary here: piie.com/research/piie-chart…
Is the #IndoPacific only about the maritime domain?
We believe that the EU may have more to offer in the less discussed but equally contested high-tech & digital fields💡

Last week, @LindsayPGorman, @RPPortugalUE, @MaaikeOh, and @RebeccaArcesati discussed the prospects and threats posed to the EU by China's ascendance as a tech power.

Taiwanese are not anti-China, we just know them better. Now more countries are getting a taste. Truth is more valuable if it takes you a few years to find it.
In the making: MadeinAmerica2050?↘️

Would be welcome turning point in US policy: from playing mostly defensive to offensive
🏋investing in own strength
Amid escalating relations w/🇨🇳 can we pls add this to 🇺🇲🇪🇺cooperation agenda?

✅EU strategic outlook to the #IndoPacific in April
✅ EU-India Connectivity Partnership in May
Great diplomatic craftsmanship.
But what will EU+MS do different after that?
Action's what I-P really needs
Maritime?🤔yes, but few ships...
Digital&tech?🤝plenty untapped potential
It is time for the EU to set out its vision for the Indo-Pacific. Read my new blog post (1/4)

Interesting thought🤔
but more likely: EU(MS) trying to better understand 🇯🇵 approach to the #IndoPacific,
as they prepare a stance/document of their own
So, the real balancing act is yet to follow💡
EU invites Japan's Motegi to explain 'free and open Indo-Pacific'.
Interesting "balancing act" after the CAI? ...
