The summit will open with a plenary session, which will focus on security and fostering a shared vision for the future of Europe.
Looking ahead to the summit’s agenda, three high-level roundtables will take place, covering Europe’s security and democratic resilience, competitiveness and economic security, and mobility challenges and youth empowerment.
Leaders from the South Caucasus have also been gathering in Albania. President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, arrived in Tirana on Thursday in order to participate in the summit.
Also in attendance is the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, who met with his Albanian counterpart Edi Rama earlier today.
The two Prime Ministers discussed regional issues during their meeting, in particular the process of normalising relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The European Political Community summit has previously been a platform for highly significant diplomatic milestones to take place. At the inaugural conference, held in Prague in October 2022, Azerbaijan and Armenia reached an agreement which included mutual recognition of each other’s territorial integrity.
