Spanish Foreign Policy in an Era of Uncertainty
What should we do about Trump, Putin, or Xi? And about Israel and Palestine? The future of Ukraine? Venezuela? Drawing on decades of experience at the highest levels of diplomacy, Ildefonso Castro, Chief Foreign Affairs Adviser to the Leader of the Opposition and former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, will offer a Spanish perspective on how to navigate a hostile global landscape, from growing geopolitical tensions to the evolving role of the EU on the world stage. A timely and stimulating conversation about power and diplomacy in an increasingly unstable international order.
