International Affairs & Cooperation

International Affairs & Cooperation

The PES is working for a better world. Europe has a major role to play on the international scene and must show its commitment to a just, democratic, peaceful and sustainable world. The PES works with progressive international partners to support this vision in Europe, its neighbourhood, and beyond.

The Party of European Socialists is deeply involved in international issues, bringing together heads of government, foreign ministers, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, and other high-level figures to discuss urgent and emerging international issues, and the push for global democracy, peace and stability.
