The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) is a key component of the European Union's (EU) external relations. It aims to promote peace, security, and stability in the world by coordinating the foreign policies of EU member states. The CFSP allows the EU to act collectively on international issues, enhancing its influence in global affairs. Under the CFSP framework, the EU can implement various actions, including diplomatic initiatives, sanctions, and military operations. This policy is guided by principles such as respect for human rights and the rule of law, ensuring that the EU's actions align with its values and objectives in the international arena.
