Reinvigorating the relationship with Europe

Former Ambassador to the US and EU Permanent Representative

Host:

Much has changed since the UK left the European Union. The policies and behaviour of both Russia and the United States now threaten to undermine the European continent politicly and territorially, and the economic benefits of taking back control of trade policies have failed to compensate for the loss of business with the EU. In this situation, there is a clear incentive for the UK and EU to try to reinvigorate their relationship covering economics, defence, and political stability and security. For businesses making plans for their European operations, it is essential to understand the current complex situation and how this might develop. Kim Darroch, Former Ambassador to the US and EU Permanent Representative, will lead a high level discussion on these topics.
