A delegation of AFET Members traveled to Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan from 18 to 22 July 2022. The main purpose of the mission was to assess the security situation in the South Caucasus and the implications of Georgia’s application to join the EU. Moreover, the mission took stock of the situation following the 2020 war in and around Nagorno Karabakh and explored possible pathways towards a permanent peace deal.
The mission assessed the new geopolitical dynamics of the area in light of the increasingly active involvement of regional powers such as Russia, Turkey and Iran.

On 8 November 2022, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on International Trade will hold a hearing on Foreign policy and trade aspects of the EU's strategic autonomy.
Susi Dennison, European Council on Foreign Relations, and Hugo Meijer, Sciences Po, Center for International Studies, will explore how the EU can best develop its sovereignty to promote and defend its values and strengthen multilateralism globally in the context of geopolitical shifts (AFET panel). Professor Hoekman, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, and Professor Clausen, University of Miami School of Law, will then examine different paradigms for working strategically with trade partners to improve EU's resilience and for ensuring that its economic and greater political goals are achieved and safeguarded from unfair trade practices ("open" strategic autonomy - INTA panel).
