And so we thought it would be useful to compare and contrast these positions with the overall aim to identify areas of common ground ...

However, as China further embarks on implementing its Belt and Road Initiative ...
Right now, such scenarios look very unlikely
There is no doubt that the EU can put together a modern and powerful army. Europe has more than enough human, financial, industrial, and technological resources to do that.

In March 2016, after the initial shock of the crisis that had hit relations between Moscow and Brussels had passed, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign ...
... Council of Europe, in which Russia was deliberately deprived of certain rights enshrined in the CoE Charter. In a sense, this analogy applies to the activities of the International Contact Group on Venezuela, which has slipped under pressure from the European Union on biased and non-constructive positions.
