International Affairs & Cooperation

International Affairs & Cooperation

We are working for a fairer, more peaceful and sustainable world, with Europe playing a leading role in defending multilateralism, democracy and international cooperation. Together with progressive partners, we work to advance peace and stability, support Ukraine, pursue a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, and strengthen European security and defence.

We are working for a better, fairer world. Europe must play a leading role internationally by defending multilateralism and promoting a just, democratic, peaceful and sustainable global order. Together with progressive partners, we strive to advance peace and stability, support Ukraine, pursue a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, and strengthen European security and defence in our continent, its neighbourhood and beyond. 

At the PES, we bring together heads of government, foreign ministers and other high-level representatives to shape progressive responses to urgent international challenges. Through our commitment to multilateralism, we work to advance democracy, peace, and stability; stand with Ukraine; support a just and lasting peace in the Middle East; and reinforce European security and defence.
