Seven days of intensive diplomatic activity

The next seven days are the most important of the year, setting the new international agenda for the months to come. G20 meeting in London is followed by the NATO Summit in Germany and France and the European tour of the new leader in Washington, ending in Turkey. The agenda is covering almost everything: the war in Afganistan, the situation in Iraq - including the post-withdrawal, the Middle East peace process, the relations between Europe and United States and the chances of a new NATO expansion to East - or, if not, the perspectives of a new Cold War. And, the common topic - how to answer the current economic crisis. If you don't have money, you cannot support democracy, the reform of the military or the investment in human resources.
