7 autumn 2025 In today’s uncertain world, those values are more relevant than ever. Only a Europe built on trust and solidarity can protect our way of life and inspire confi- dence globally. Luxembourg will continue to advocate for dialogue and compromise – and for a strong, unit- ed Europe that stays close to its citizens and true to its principles. Looking ahead, what is your hope for Luxembourg’s next chapter? Our future will depend on our ability to stay open to ideas, to people and to the world. I am confident that Luxembourg will continue to thrive as a country that combines economic ambition with social cohesion and environmental responsibility. We have always succeeded by embracing innova- tion and change while staying true to our values. I be- lieve our next chapter will be defined by sustainable growth, inclusiveness and the strength of our commu- nity spirit. Together, we can build a future that hon- ours our past while opening new horizons for genera- tions to come. I will also continue to champion Luxembourg’s in- ternational economic outreach, building on my work of the past 25 years. Promoting our country as a hub for innovation, sustainability and responsible invest- ment remains one of my personal priorities. While my duties as Head of State may not allow me to travel as frequently as before, I intend to dedicate as much of my time as possible to supporting economic missions abroad and to strengthening Luxembourg’s global voice. At the moment, we are looking into how I can best continue this work, together with the government, with- in the context of my new responsibilities as Head of State. © Maison du Grand-Duc/Kary Barthelmey Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie A VISION FOR LUXEMBOURG
