Europe in the world : working for peace, security and stability

The EU faces major challenges: managing globalisation to its advantage, addressing multifaceted threats to its security and stability, and strengthening the current international order based on the rule of law and multilateral institutions. All of this requires a strong EU, able to protect its interest on the international stage, and promote stability, prosperity, democracy and human rights around the world. The EU is a reliable partner, the world's biggest donor and an engine for reforms.
