Responsibilities
The mission of the Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) is to contribute - in the context of the European Union’s external relations - to sustainable development, the eradication of poverty, peace and the protection of human rights, through international partnerships that uphold and promote European values and interests.
Under the geopolitical ambition and political guidelines set by the President of the European Commission, DG INTPA leads on international cooperation, building partnerships with countries and organisations across the globe.
DG INTPA works hand in hand with its partners, setting policy agendas, taking initiatives and ensuring effective implementation of its actions for the ultimate shared benefit of EU citizens and people across the world. As part of this effort, Global Gateway serves as the EU’s main investment strategy for international partnerships, fostering smart, clean, and secure infrastructure while promoting fair, values-driven, and mutually beneficial cooperation.
