Diplomacy, development and defence should be the pillars of EU foreign policy, say Foreign Affairs Committee MEPs in a resolution voted on Thursday. They call on member states to show more unity and trust, and to speak with one voice, so as to make the EU a global player. MEPs also advocate a more realistic strategy on Russia and a “less for less” policy towards countries that try to throw democracy into reverse.

This joint Parliamentary workshop between the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET), the Committee on Development (DEVE) and the Delegation for relations with Afghanistan aims to inform and to build awareness in the aftermath of the Brussels Conference, which was scheduled on 4-5 October 2016 bringing together more than 70 countries and 20 international organisations and agencies.
The aim of the Brussels Conference was to endorse a realistic reform programme to be implemented by the Afghan government and to ensure continued international political and financial support for political and economic stability, state building and development over the coming four years. Against this background, the workshop will consist of three different panels on political, security and economic/development aspects in Afghanistan, thus covering the cross-Committee nature of the EU-Afghanistan relationship.

The EU should do more to protect independent journalists and bloggers and human rights defenders, say MEPs in their report on the state of human rights in the world in 2015, approved by the Foreign Affairs Committee on Monday. Members point out that the "universality of human rights is seriously being challenged in many parts of the world" and say the EU "should ensure coherence between its internal and external policies with regard to respect for human rights".
