Atlantic Partnership

An elite networking group set up to foster closer relations between the US and UK.

According to its website its aims and objectives include:

Although we can hope the worst is now over, we have to remain vigilant. Atlantic Partnership’s role is to argue the case for setting major policy decisions in the context of their impact on transatlantic relations. That should apply as much to the way America pursues the global war against terrorism as to the European Union’s ambition to build stronger, Europe-wide institutions. Indeed purposeful strengthening of the transatlantic relationship ought to be a positive goal which weighs heavily with the decision-takers. After all the unity of the ‘West’ has been the foundation for most of what our nations have achieved over the past half-century. Now we have to build on the foundations, not undermine them.

Atlantic Partnership will continue to make this case vigorously, through its influential network, through its sought-after breakfast meetings and through the writings and speeches of its panellists. We do not aspire to become a ponderous institution but will remain a lively and nimble ginger-group promoting what continues to be the world’s most powerful and fruitful community of nations, brought together in the transatlantic relationship.
