At the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum on 25 November 2025, high-ranking politicians and experts will discuss Germany’s international role only months into the tenure of the new federal government.
The intricate interplay between domestic and foreign policy is a defining factor in shaping international relations, particularly in an era of geopolitical competition. Germany and Europe face the dual challenge of managing deepening crises and global instability while addressing internal political polarization and economic difficulties. Effectively tackling current challenges requires Germany and Europe to adopt a comprehensive approach that integrates domestic and international priorities, fosters international partnerships, and promotes both stability internally and abroad.
Against the backdrop of traditional alliances under scrutiny, the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum will address the most pressing questions for German foreign policy: How can Germany and Europe reconcile security, domestic policy, and economic challenges with their international commitments? What actions should Germany take to strengthen Europe’s position as a strong global player? To what extent can global actors build resilient partnerships in a time of fragmentation?
