‘Far beyond’ EU and NATO: Armenia hosts EPC summit solid as ‘gateway’ in shifting diplomatic order | EUROtoday

As 50 world leaders from Europe & Canada collect for Armenia’s first-ever EU summit, Genie Godula is happy to welcome Dr Gesine Weber, Senior Researcher on the Center for Security Studies. She describes the European Political Community summit as symbolically important but structurally restricted. Amid transatlantic tensions, shifting US engagement, and the rise of powers resembling Canada, she sees the summit as a casual platform to handle shared issues and discover a big selection of options. Ms. Weber wouldn’t go so far as decoding the present dynamics as indicators of a “new world order”.
