Federica Mogherini discusses Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship

"There are good times, there are times that a little bit more difficult, but friendship and partnership across the Atlantic are based on strong evidence, but also strong personal ties," said Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, in her opening words of the first event of the day.

Ms. Mogherini was invited by Professor Nicholas Burns, Faculty Director of the Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship to discuss EU-US relations and to engage in talks with students and faculty at the Harvard Kennedy School. 

After a panel discussion in the morning that covered the Iran Nuclear Deal, the U.S. withdrawal from the deal, and dangers to the multilateral, rules-based world order, Ms. Mogherini met with student at the European Club at Harvard Kennedy School, before an exchange with professors, staff, and students from all over Harvard over a working lunch.
