The idea
Foreign policy means dialogue. Whether it is on the parliamentary and diplomatic working level or between heads of states and political leaders: without dialogue, international cooperation is not possible. When heads of states and governments are successfully persuaded to deliver keynote speeches on the fundamental elements of a nation’s foreign policy, they provide fresh impetus to further dialogue. With its Körber Global Leaders Dialogue, Körber Foundation aims to contribute to this process on a regular basis.
