Ambassador Joao Vale de Almeida: in conversation with Bronwen Maddox
The Institute for Government was delighted to welcome Ambassador Jo\xe3o Vale de Almeida, the EU Ambassador to the UK.\n\nThe start of the post-Brexit relationship between the UK and the EU has been marked by tensions over vaccine distribution and the Northern Ireland protocol. But these are also issues where close co-operation is needed. How should the UK and the EU work together to implement the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Northern Ireland protocol? What are the other areas of shared interest ahead of the G7 summit and United Nations climate conference? What can be done to improve relations between the EU and the UK post-Brexit?\n\nTo discuss these questions and more, Jo\xe3o Vale de Almeida was in conversation with Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government.\n\nJo\xe3o Vale de Almeida previously served as the EU Ambassador to the United Nations 2015-19 and the EU Ambassador to the US 2010-14.
