It was a pleasure for TPN to host a roundtable last October in honor of Kira Rudik MP, Vice President ALDE and Leader of Holos Liberal Political Party, Ukraine.
Before the in-person roundtable (moderated by Dan Michaels, Brussels Bureau Chief, Wall Street Journal), Ms. Rudik spoke with TPN Senior Director Jeffries Briginshaw; you can watch their talk above.
Building tomorrow's partnership today
Launched to promote the closest possible partnership between the Governments and the peoples of the European Union and the United States, the Transatlantic Policy Network (TPN) has a proud record of achievement as well as vital ambitions for the future.
From a small original base of support in the European Parliament and the US Congress, TPN has grown into a broadly-based multi-party group of EU and US politicians, corporate leaders, think tanks, civil society stakeholders, and academics. Through regular informal dialogue and the maintenance of close personal relationships, TPN participants keep the two administrations focused on the indispensable goal of a strengthened Transatlantic Partnership.
Concentrating on the present but thinking about the future, TPN’s meetings and publications have outlined strategies for establishing the Transatlantic Partnership to be in a position to help set the rules for the global economy in the 21st century.
Looking at long-term trends to define the priorities for the Partnership ahead, TPN helps to frame the debate on how governments should anticipate challenges, measure risks, and adopt the necessary policies for global economic and political stability.

Connectivity Infrastructure:
TTC shows the way with a common Transatlantic agenda
By Lise Fuhr, Director General, ETNO (European Telecommunications Network Operators’ Association)
With the fourth meeting of the TTC delivering a solid set of work in progress, amongst the most notable is the elaboration of a joint vision on 6G for the next generation of digital infrastructure technology. Cooperation and exchange of information, as well as joint research, is envisaged alongside principles including human rights, energy saving, and WTO compatibility. We welcome this. The vision is one that responds to the challenge of China’s existing 5G strengths and offers an expansion of jointly funded 5G projects in Costa Rica and the Philippines that will allow both countries to reduce reliance on Chinese infrastructure. This comes on top of work underway with Kenya and Jamaica.
