The Annual Council Meeting 2023 took place on 7-8 June in Stockholm. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a turning point in European history. More than one year into the war, it is high time to go beyond crisis management mode and have a more long-term strategic look at how Europe can build the capacity and the global coalitions which are necessary to defend European interests in the world. The Annual Council Meeting 2023 in Stockholm will aim to offer both a very timely opportunity to discuss how Europeans have met the challenge of a war on its soil, and a strategic outlook at how Europe should handle the polycrisis of dire economic straits and global ripple effects as a result of the war. As such, the ACM will serve as an important reality check in which European decision-makers and opinion-shapers get to frankly exchange their ideas of the challenges and opportunities underlying this polycrisis. ---------------------------------------- Wednesday, 7th June 2023 OPENING REMARKS AND FRAMING Lykke Friis, Co-Chair, ECFR ECFR INSIGHTS: KEEPING AMERICA CLOSE, RUSSIA DOWN, AND CHINA FAR AWAY: HOW EUROPEANS NAVIGATE A COMPETITIVE WORLD Jana Puglierin, Head of the Berlin Office and Senior Policy Fellow, ECFR PANEL I: THE POWER OF CONTROL: ECONOMIC COERCION IN THE FUTURE GLOBAL SYSTEM Carl Bildt, Co-Chair, ECFR Arancha González Laya, Dean, Paris School of International Affairs Jim O’Brien, Head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination, Department of State, United States Jovita Neliupšienė, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lithuania Moderated by Jakob Hanke Vela, Brussels Playbook Author, POLITICO ECFR INSIGHTS: A CONVERSATION ON THE TURKISH ELECTIONS Sinan Ülgen, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Europe Aslı Aydıntaşbaş, Associate Senior Policy Fellow, ECFR ECFR INSIGHTS: TRIBAL WARS: THE FOREIGN POLICY OF A POLARIZED POWER Jeremy Shapiro, Research Director, ECFR PANEL II: FOREIGN POLICY OF A POLARIZED AMERICA: WHAT THE 2024 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION COULD MEAN FOR EUROPE AND THE WORLD Alexander Soros, Chair, Open Society Foundations Alexander Stubb, Professor & Director, European University Institute Alexander Velez-Green, former National Security Advisor to Senator Josh Hawley Nathalie Loiseau, Member of the European Parliament Moderated by Majda Ruge, Senior Policy Fellow, ECFR ---------------------------------------- Annual Council Meeting 2023, Day 1 | European Council on Foreign Relations playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk6xUL9_9MA-1_1MvS4Gxa8EZKKClXj0m https://ecfr.eu
