A framework for thematic strategic dialogues

Strategic Dialogues refers to a flexible and transversal framework designed to address, depending on context, sensitive European issues such as defence, migration, security or strategic resources. These dialogues take various forms—targeted exchanges, ad hoc formats and restricted meetings—and are conducted within controlled frameworks tailored to the nature of the issues and the actors involved. They aim to clarify positions, bring perspectives closer together and support the progressive alignment of actors. Through Strategic Dialogues, European Strategic Initiative maintains an agile capacity to engage on issues requiring discretion and a high degree of strategic sensitivity.
