The Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Jean Asselborn, gave the main speech at this year's Literary Heights Festival (Festiwal Góry Literatury), which took place Thursday July 14, in Książ Castle,a clifftop castle in Wałbrzych near Wrocław, in southwestern Poland.
Asselborn was invited to the event by the 2019 Noble Prize Winner, Olga Tokarczuk - a celebrated Polish author who hosts the event along with a poet and a literary critic, Karol Maliszewski.
The Literary Heights Festival is a literary festival founded in 2015 and takes place in the vicinity of Nowa Ruda, where a lot of Tokarczuk's novels take place and where she currently lives.
Asselborn's speech centred on Europe in the context of global changes, namely common values, past and future.
