Russia-China relations: What next & else after ESPO, Yamal LNG and Power of Siberia?
Practical information
Expanding Russia-China energy relations represent one of the most important global energy market developments in the past ten years, and Chinese investments in Russian energy projects and companies have been growing. The strategic dimension of Russia-China relations has gained additional attention as Russia's relations with the West deteriorated, and as China laid out its One Belt One Road Initiative. This energy breakfast discussion aims to assess these energy, economic and political ties, their implications and draw perspectives for their future development.

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
