President Nikos Christodoulides is set to take part in the European Council Summit in Brussels.

The Summit's agenda includes Ukraine, the Middle East, European defence, and migration, with Cyprus emphasising the EU's role in the broader region.

Government Spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis, in remarks after the Cabinet meeting on 25 June said President Christodoulides would leave in the evening of that day for Brussels to attend the EU Summit scheduled for 26 June and possibly 27 June.

He is expected to have a private working dinner with Luxembourg’s Prime Minister, Luc Frieden.

On the morning of 26 June, the President will take part in the European People’s Party (EPP) meeting. Immediately after, he will join a high-level meeting on migration organised by Italy’s Prime Minister, alongside leaders from member states.

Following that, Letymbiotis said, the EU Summit will begin. The agenda includes key issues such as the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East, European defence, strengthening EU competitiveness and geopolitical economics.

“Given the regional developments and global challenges, the European Council Summit takes on special importance. Cyprus is actively involved, highlighting the EU’s crucial role in its immediate neighbourhood,” he stated.

The President will be accompanied by Deputy Minister for European Affairs Marilena Raouna, the Director of the President’s Press Office, Victoras Papadopoulos, Letymbiotis and other officials.
