“We cannot give up on Russia and China”

How can peace with Russia succeed, how can a profound conflict with China be avoided? To kick off this year’s Munich Private Equity Training, Dr. Christoph Heusgen, experienced diplomat and chairman of the Munich Security Conference since 2022, described the difficult challenges Germany is facing. In an interview with POELLATH partner Tarek Mardini, Heusgen explains why the gap between Russia and Europe is so difficult to bridge and how political and economic interests are currently at odds with each other with regard to China.
