The transatlantic partners face common global challenges and can take advantage of opportunities that go beyond traditional bilateral US-German and Canadian-German relations. The FES structures its work in the form of political “trialogues” that bring together German, American or Canadian experts with partners from other regions and countries, such as Russia, China, Israel, and the European Union. Thanks to our extensive network of global offices, we can successfully engage in trialogue programs on foreign affairs, economic and labor relations, and progressive politics.
