WITH DUE REGARD to the respective spheres of competence of the European Union and of the Member States, as well as to the principle of subsidiarity, UNDERLINES that a strategic approach to international cultural relations should encompass all relevant policy areas and take into account the Joint Communication of 8 June 2016. It should also be in line with the 2005 Unesco Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions as well as the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. More specifically, such an approach should: (a) entail a bottom-up perspective, while respecting the independence of the cultural sector, reinforcing freedom of expression and artists’ integrity, encouraging direct contacts between artists, cultural operators and civil society, and allowing for sufficient flexibility to take into consideration the rapidly changing global scenario; (b) be developed on the premise that international cultural relations can only take shape by fostering cultural diversity within the EU, thereby empowering citizens to broaden their cultural appreciation and knowledge, stimulate their creativity and encourage mutual learning and dialogue that is nurtured over time, with a view to further developing intercultural competences (5) and promoting intercultural dialogue; (c) encourage consistency and coherence of efforts, whilst ensuring full complementarity with Member States’ actions. There should also be complementarity with actions being carried out on an international level, such as through the Council of Europe and Unesco, whilst avoiding duplication of efforts;
