EU should adopt a visionary and pragmatic outlook

When the European Union foreign ministers hold their regular monthly meeting in Brussels on Monday, they will have many pressing issues to discuss.

One of which, the United Kingdom's severing of ties with the bloc, will be highlighted by the attendance of the UK's new foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, who was a key supporter of the campaign to leave the EU.

But it's not just the fast-changing political landscape in the UK that the EU foreign ministers will be concerned about. They will also have the failed military coup in Turkey and the bloody terrorist attack in France to discuss.
