Dear colleagues and friends,
After three years of Covid and one year of war, the world is different than we could have imagined until recently. It is worth remembering that the AEC emerged 70 years ago as a reconciliation project after a devastating imperialist war of aggression in the middle of Europe.
The extensive and positive experiences that AEC has had in these 70 years with cross-border activities, which will continue to contribute to promoting and strengthening the idea of a united Europe, should give us courage for the future.
Best wishes,
Stefan Gies, AEC Chief Executive
