This year's foreign policy declaration prioritizes security over sustainable development. Cooperation within the EU, the Nordic countries and the Baltic states is highlighted, while dependence on the US is to be reduced. International partnerships are prioritized based on trade and security interests, and humanitarian aid is given greater space than long-term development cooperation.

In Colombia, they have an ongoing program to make women feel fairly represented in the media. There, women are not only interviewed for articles - they are also part of the editorial staff.
