KEEPING CHANNELS OPEN
Supporting Euro-atlantiC Cooperation and global cooperation
Our Mission
- Keeping Channels Open is a dynamic new initiative aimed at strengthening UK-EU-US dialogue & cooperation in the wake of the Russian war on Ukraine, Covid, Brexit, Trumpism and waves of populism and disinformation. It was launched in September 2020 as a cross-party, cross-border network by independent partners & the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.
- Through a series of events, we are hosting multi-disciplinary groups of politicians, experts and stakeholders to debate how to cooperate on the most pressing issues of the day. This growing network is brainstorming solutions and reinforcing solidarity in the face disruption to our economies, cohesion, security, democracy and way of life.
- Current topics include the West’s relations with China; Europe’s global engagement; ways to end Russia’s aggression and the Israel-Hamas war; improving UK-EU relations; dealing with geopolitical competition; strengthening climate change action, economic security and technological progress; promoting democratic resilience; managing culture wars and disinformation.
