“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. From Kleinmond to Johannesburg, the task is clear: go far, together.”

📰 European Parliament VP Christel Schaldemose calls for multilateralism & strong global ties in #OPED.

If you want to go far, go together: Why we need stronger multilateralism

The European Union — born from the ruins of war — is living proof that multilateralism works. What once divided us now binds us: a single market, a shared legal framework, and institutions that protect both rights and prosperity.
