Mogherini calls for revision of European security strategy

Xinhua, February 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Foreign policy chief of the European Union (EU) Federica Mogherini called for revision of the European security strategy in response to the changing environment on Sunday.

Mogherini said at the 51st Munich Security Conference here that the EU has planned to build a new "broad and deep strategy" to echo the transformed global and regional circumstances.

The existing European security strategy, a document proposed by her predecessor, Javier Solana, and was approved in 2003, according to her, is deeply outdated.

"The most important thing is to build strategic thinking," she said.

Mogherini said the Ukraine crisis and situation in Libria are the top issues she most concerned.

The EU relies on exhaustive diplomacy as a key instrument in putting an end to the conflict in Ukraine, she said. Endit
