As the global community continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Atlantic Council is open for business. Our business, meetings, and events, however, are occurring virtually. For more information, please read an update from our President and CEO.
A public discussion in the Central Europe Week virtual event series.
This year the United States and Romania celebrate 140 years of diplomatic relations and enter into one decade of strategic partnership. As the transatlantic alliance faces increasingly complex challenges, including traditional threats and unforeseen risks due to the novel coronavirus, this partnership can help inform a post-COVID-19 transatlantic strategy. As we celebrate these achievements, experts from the US and Romania will also gather to outline key challenges and opportunities for growth, prosperity, and security, both in the Black Sea region and Europe more broadly.
This discussion brings experts from the US and Central Europe together to outline actions toward a common agenda for the post-pandemic future, and is part of the Council’s broader virtual event series Central Europe Week: Charting A Post COVID-19 Future Together.
