Conservative European Affairs Council
The Conservative European Affairs Council brings together emerging Conservative leaders to strengthen their engagement with colleagues across Europe.
Chaired by senior figures, the Council seeks to move beyond internal divisions and shape a coherent approach to UK–European relations.
Through dialogue, delegations, and collaboration, it promotes informed, strategic engagement with Europe’s political landscape in support of the wider Conservative movement.
Our work
International Conservative Political Delegations
The Council undertakes delegations to European capitals to engage with sister parties, exchange views, and reinforce our shared values across the centre-right. These visits serve to deepen mutual understanding and support a practical approach to European affairs.
We are equally proud to host delegations in the United Kingdom, strengthening ties through dialogue and longstanding political cooperation.
Conservative European Diplomatic Receptions
The Conservative European Affairs Council hosts a series diplomatic receptions in London’s European embassies. These occasions bring together the next generation of Conservative leaders with diplomats and representatives from across Europe, providing a setting for thoughtful discussion, relationship-building, and the exchange of ideas. Held in venues that reflect the tradition and stature of British diplomacy, these events underscore our commitment to constructive engagement and long-term international partnerships.
Conservative European Diplomatic Roundtables
Often held alongside our receptions, the Council’s roundtables bring together diplomats and emerging Conservative leaders for in-depth discussions. These sessions offer valuable insight into a wide range of policy areas, from security and trade to energy and climate.
